Russian Ovechkin became one of the worst forwards of the NHL season in terms of defensive actions
The Russian captain of the Washington Capitals club Alexander Ovechkin became one of the worst forwards of the 2022/2023 season of the National Hockey League (NHL) in terms of defensive actions. This was stated by Russian Machine Never Breaks journalist Peter Hassett.
Hassett noted that only 8 out of 347 forwards have performed worse than Ovechkin. “This shows two things. Firstly, Ovechkin is not among the players with good defensive skills, which is not surprising and which is perhaps even reasonable to expect. Secondly, he does not receive the support he needs, ”concluded the journalist.
Ovechkin is the second-best scorer in NHL history. On account of his 822 abandoned washers. The backlog from the leading Canadian Wayne Gretzky is 72 goals.
Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL since 2005. He spent all seasons in North America with Washington. Together with the club, the hockey player won the Stanley Cup in 2018.
