Athletistic / Hockey. The Washington Capitals lost to the Winnipeg Jets (0:3) in an away game during the NHL regular season. Even the participation of Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin in the game did not save the Capitals from defeat.
Last night, Ovechkin played the 1407th game of his career in the regular NHL championships. In this indicator, he was equal to the legend of Washington Dale Hunter. They are now tied for 40th in league history. The new benchmark for the 38-year-old Russian is Paul Coffey, who managed to play 1,409 games in the NHL.
This season, Alexander Ovechkin played 60 NHL regular season games and scored 48 (18+30) points in the goals and assists system. Washington, with 69 points after 63 matches, occupies 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings, three points from the playoff zone.
