Ovechkin’s Classic Double: Scored Two Powerplays From The Office To Favorite Goaltender

Goals number 818 and 819.

Everything indicates that the Washingtons are going according to the plan outlined in the deadline : Ovechkin is gradually approaching Gretzky’s record, but the team itself is unlikely to claim anything serious in the coming years. Against the Minnesota, Alexander put down two again, but what’s the use of that when the Caps have won just 5 of their last 17 games?

Ovi even at 37 in amazing shape

It just seems like you can’t stop being surprised. When a striker at the age of 37 plays 18-20 minutes per match amid stress after the loss of a loved one and at the same time is the top scorer in his team by a wide margin, this once again speaks of his uniqueness.

It is interesting how Ovi himself reacts to the changes in the composition (take the same exchange of Orlov) and the new course of Washington, but it looks like he still knows his goal and goes towards it. And the meeting with Minnesota is proof of that.

The Capitals got off to a terrible start, conceding twice by the 5th minute. In the future, the “savages” did not allow the opponent to approach even the minimum distance, but Ovechkin inserted his few words. To be precise, he participated in all three goals of his team.

The first two he scored himself – and it was a typical Ovi: from the office, in the majority. Everything we love. The only difference is that in the first goal it was a click from the bottom of his heart, and in the second he was already throwing with his hands, waiting for the right moment.

He made an assist at the end of the match with the score 2:5. It all started again with his click from the office: the goalkeeper rebounded, but right in front of him – of course, the partners finalized the moment and finished off the puck into the goal.
