Head coach “Washington” Spencer Carbury told how the team had to rebuild after the Russian striker’s injury Alexandra Ovechkina .
Ovechkin was injured on November 18 during the NHL regular season game against Utah (6:2). Doctors diagnosed a fracture of the fibula in his left leg. Presumably, the Russian forward will return to the ice after the New Year. For the first time in ten years, he was unavailable for an extended period of time.
“Perhaps we were not sufficiently prepared for such a development of events before the start of the season. We had a full lineup, and that, you know, is a real luxury. We probably should have discussed the issue of possible injuries more. Now we are rebuilding the team chemistry and in the last matches I see some success. We must continue, ”reports the Washington press service, according to Carbery’s words.
39-year-old Ovechkin has 868 goals in regular NHL championships, according to this indicator he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
