& # 8212; Evan Marinofsky (@EvanMarinofsky) January 11, 2022 Alexander did not leave the site without effective action. In the second period, he, together with Yevgeny Kuznetsov, brought TJ Oshi to a goal and chalked up the 618th assists in his entire career in the NHL. Until the result of Sergei Zubov, the Russian was left with one assist.

& # 8212; Washington Capitals (@Capitals) January 11, 2022 As for the rest, Ovechkin — as well as the whole “Washington” — can hardly call today's game at least somewhat successful. “Capitals” at the beginning of the match were 2-0, but lost the advantage pretty quickly. Already by the middle of the second period, six goals were at the gate of the “capital” (one of them was in a counterattack after Kuznetsov missed the empty goal of the “Bruins”), and in the end the “bears” finished off the opponent with a seventh goal.

& # 8212; Main Team (@ MainTeamSports2) January 11, 2022 The Caps can only blame themselves for another failure. The team played an extremely mediocre match and paid for unnecessary deletions. Although someone will certainly be glad for Nick Daud, who broke his nose in the blood of the unloved Brad Marshan. 3: 7 — “Washington” suffered a fourth defeat in a row. And it is symbolic that they are all accompanied by Ovechkin's goalless streak. “Capital” is becoming more difficult to win in matches in which Alexander does not score: out of 19 such games, only eight ended in favor of the “Caps”. Lavioletta's New York Islanders, one of the biggest losers of the current NHL season, are next in line. A good chance to rectify the situation if the meeting, of course, takes place as scheduled.
