Gennady Kurdin, Tampa Bay Lightning’s first forward coach Nikita Koucherov told that the Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin there are not enough “good partners” who will help him beat the record Wayne Gretzky .
On Tuesday, Ovechkin scored a goal in the NHL regular season match against Montreal, which ended in a victory for the Canadian team with a score of 5: 2. The Russian brought the number of goals in the NHL at 832 and league record holder Gretzky scored 894 goals.
— Ovechkin needs partners to beat Gretzky’s record. When Alexander scored the most points and scored a lot, his partner was Backstrom, who has now put his career on hold. Ovechkin is missing because there is no worthy replacement for Nicklas in Washington. Whether Sasha breaks the record or not depends on his teammates. I am sure he will play again, because he has the health and the desire, all that remains is to select the right players for the line.
— Washington is now playing more to solve its own problems or for Ovechkin?
— If Alexander scores, Washington will win. Another thing is that many hockey players chase records and forget to play for the team; they must not forget that hockey is a team game,” Kurdin told .
