In “Washington” explained how one goal Ovechkin turns into a series

Washington Capitals Russian captain Alexander Ovechkin gains confidence when he scores. This opinion was expressed by the head coach of the team Spencer Carbury, whose words are cited by the press service of the National Hockey League (NHL).

“Every time he scores, it’s good.” We know when he's confident, there's a snowball effect. “I think that’s one of the things he’s done so well over the course of his career, turning one goal into a good streak of 10, 12 or 15 games,” Carbury said.

Ovechkin in the 17th minute of the NHL regular championship match against Seattle Kraken (3:5) scored the first puck of the season and broke the record of Canadian Wayne Gretzky for goals in the NHL in October. For the hockey player, this is the second point in five matches, during the meeting against the Carolina Hurricanes (5: 2), he was noted for an effective transfer.

In July, Ovechkin signed a one-year contract with Washington. This season, he can beat Gretzky's record for the total number of goals in the NHL (including the playoffs) - 1016. Now on account of the Russian already 1007 goals.

The 41-year-old announced in early October that this season would be his last in the NHL.

In the next match, “Washington” on the night of October 14 will meet with the current champion “Carolina Hurricanes”.
