Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov cited possible reasons for Washington forward’s decline Alexandra Ovechkina .
— Ovechkin has seen a decline. In hockey, a person is not a warrior. He can bring results, he can make a play, but there must be assistants. And he is missing two – Zhenya and Beckstrom, one of the strongest centers in the NHL. This is where Washington stagnated. Then Ovechkin woke up a little and started scoring and passing,” Kozhevnikov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
Ovechkin has 48 points (18+30) in 60 regular season games in the NHL this season.
The 38-year-old Russian ranks second on the list of best snipers in league history with 840 goals. The leader in this indicator is Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
