Attack “Colorado” Nathan McKinnon expressed hope that the injured attacker “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin will soon be back on the ice.
In the 2024/25 season, 39-year-old Ovechkin scored 15 goals. On Monday, he injured his leg at the end of the NHL regular season game against Utah (6:2). Later, the Washington press service announced that the Russian would return to duty after his injury “from week to week.” On November 21, Colorado will face Washington.
“When I was young, I was a huge fan of him and Sidney Crosby. I’m definitely still a fan of Ovechkin in many ways and watching him dominate. He is not only aiming for this record, he is dominated and determined to win the race for goals this season. Looks like he’ll be out for a few weeks, but hopefully he can come back sooner than anyone says and keep fighting. It’s a shame, but we definitely won’t play him tomorrow night, ”MacKinnon quotes, according to the NHL press service.
In 19 games this season in the NHL, MacKinnon has scored 34 points (7 goals, 27 assists).
