Forward and captainWashington » Alexander Ovechkin will be able to score 20 goals before the end of the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season, the double Olympic champion told Alexander Kozhevnikov .
The Russian striker scored the goal in the match against Colorado (3:6), it became his 14th this season. Ovechkin scored for the sixth consecutive game, his longest scoring streak since December 2018. The 38-year-old hockey player’s personal best in the NHL is seven games with goals scored in a row (2005/06 season).
— Ovechkin will definitely score five or six goals, reach 20 during the season, so next year it will be easier to catch up with Gretzky. Sasha is a born scorer. There is nothing surprising that at 38 years old he scores six matches in a row, a bomb, a talent from God. Few can stop him, it all depends on him. And, of course, from the partner side, Washington had problems with the roster, Zhenya Kuznetsov was not in good shape,” Kozhevnikov told .
Washington has 30 games left before the end of the NHL regular season.
