Captain Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin after the defeat of “Toronto” during an NHL regular season home game, he said his team needed to learn a lesson from that game.
On Wednesday, the capital lost at home to Toronto with a score of 3 to 7. Ovechkin scored a double and narrowed the gap with Canadian Wayne Gretzky on the list of the best snipers in the history of the NHL at 49 goals. Now the 38-year-old Russian has 845 goals in his league career, Gretzky’s record is 894.
“As soon as we got closer to them, closing the gap, they were able to score more. It’s frustrating, but we must learn from it. The match is already over, so we have to move on. We tried to bounce back against a solid team, no one said it would be easy. Tomorrow is a new day and a new game. We should never stop and try to force our opponents. Today we didn’t do it and you see the result, ”Ovechkin said in a video published by the Capitals press service.
Washington is ninth in the Eastern Conference standings with 75 points. Toronto (87) is fifth in the East.
