The forward has been unable to hit the opponents’ goal for five matches and have been unable to score in three games in a row. In 11 meetings in the 2023/2024 season, Ovechkin scored two goals and provided six assists.
On November 8, Ovechkin explained his low performance at the start of the season. “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 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.
