Washington captain Ovechkin attributed his low performance in the NHL to bad luck
Russian forward and captain of the Washington Capitals, Alexander Ovechkin, explained the low performance at the start of the season in the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are quoted on the league’s website.
Ovechkin said that he considers this period to be bad luck. “I have a chance, but sometimes you have to look at yourself and think what you can do differently. “Sometimes you think, ‘No, wait, the puck is going to go here,’ but then the puck is in a different place and you think it would be better to take another step,” he said.
In the 2023/2024 season, Ovechkin has currently played ten matches, in which he hit the opponents’ goal twice and made six assists. He hasn’t scored a goal in the last four games.
In total, Ovechkin has 824 goals in the NHL. He continues to chase the sniper record of Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals. The Russian has already surpassed Canadian Gordie Howe, who is in third place, in this indicator.
