Athletistic / Hockey. On the night of April 3, the Washington Capitals lost to the Buffalo Sabers in an away game of the NHL regular season with a score of 2: 6. This failure did not prevent the captain of the capital, Alexander Ovechkin, to achieve another statistical feat.
Ovechkin had an assist last night. It was his 696th career NHL goal. Alexander now ranks second in NHL history in assists, tying former teammate Sergei Fedorov. The national record belongs to Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (794).
Alexander Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL since October 2005. In 2018, he helped Washington win the first Stanley Cup in franchise history. In 71 games this season in the NHL, the 38-year-old Russian has scored 59 (26+33) points in the goal+pass system.
