commentator Artem Bozhko on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” » declared that the captain of the Washington Alexander Ovechkin after his injury, he will be able to maintain his momentum in the NHL scoring race.
On November 22, it was learned that Ovechkin, 39, would be out for four to six weeks due to a fractured left fibula. The hockey player was injured during the NHL regular season match against Utah (6:2). On Monday, video surfaced online of the Capitals captain taking the ice for the first time since his injury during an individual workout.
— Will Ovechkin be able to maintain his scoring pace after returning to the ice?
— On the one hand, coming out of an injury, you can’t wait to prove yourself, you miss hockey. As we know, Alexander is a very courageous hockey player, he always plays with dynamism. On the other hand, there’s still a big question about what you missed and what you lost in the tone of the game. A lot will also depend on Washington’s current situation. So far we see that everything is working. In my opinion, Washington is even jumping in over his head, especially when it comes to team performance. With a very average selection of players, Washington scores more than four goals per game on average and is among the best teams in the East.
I think coming back to the team, even though he missed a little bit in his career, was always painless for him. I think he will rest, heal and come back emotionally. This will help him achieve the same good run as at the start of the season. If we look at his career, when he is fresh and full of energy, he is very productive. I hope that Alexander will start without slipping and continue to score goals after his injury,” Bozhko said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match!” on the channel.
Ovechkin has scored 15 goals this season. In total, he has 868 goals in regular NHL championships, according to this indicator he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
