Athletistic / Hockey. Famous North American journalist Tariq El-Bashir shared his opinion on Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin’s performance this season in the NHL. The 38-year-old Russian showed poor performances during the first half of the season.
“Right now, everyone is worried about Ovechkin not scoring. At the moment, the most important thing is to get his health back. Although Alex will never admit it, it seems to me that he is playing with an injury and it has been going on for a long time. “Also this season he did not work very well in a trio with Kuznetsov and Strome,” El-Bashir is quoted as saying by Monumental Sports Network.
Alexander Ovechkin scored 31 points in 44 games in the NHL regular season – he scored 9 goals and became the author of 22 assists with an overall efficiency coefficient of -17. In total, the Russian scored 831 goals in the NHL, which makes him the second sniper in the history of the league. Only Wayne Gretzky (894) is ahead of him.
