Alex Ovechkin - Page 10 - NHL News & Rumors

Two helpers against Jersey Ovechkin recorded two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact He helped set up Evgeny Kuznetsov and John Carlson for tallies in the second period as the Capitals rallied from an early 3-1 deficit, but the team's offense went cold in the third. Ovechkin has two goals and two assists during a modest three-game point streak, but the future Hall of Famer is still well off his accustomed pace with just eight goals and 24 points in 36 contests on the season.

Snaps slump with OT winner Ovechkin scored the game-winner in overtime and added an assist, both on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Blue Jackets.

Impact The future Hall of Famer had gone 14 games without finding the back of the net, but Ovechkin got off the schneid by snapping a shot past Elvis Merzlikins from the faceoff dot with less than a minute left in OT. Ovechkin's goal drought wasn't from lack of trying -- over the last 14 contests he has eight points and 44 shots on net -- and now that he's broken the ice, goals could come in bunches for the 38-year-old. Ovechkin is now 66 goals behind Wayne Gretzky for the all-time NHL record.

Alex Ovechkin Snaps His Scoring Drought With An Overtime Snipe

DECEMBER 22, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Longest goal drought of NHL career Ovechkin had six shots ad 14 shot attempts Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Nashville..

Impact He has not scored in his past 12 games, the longest drought of his NHL career. Ovechkin is connecting on just five percent of his shots, which is a fraction of his career 12.8 rate. And two of his five goals have gone in to an empty net. Ovie is on pace for about 16 goals, which would be his lowest single-season total. We're prepared to give Ovechkin the benefit of the doubt. Yes, his shots per game have declined slightly, but the rate is still elite. His puck luck is non-existent right now -- he should have 10 or 11 goals at this point. He's going to break out soon.

Reaches milestone Ovechkin tallied a power-play assist and added three shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars.

Impact The helper marked the 1,500th point of Ovechkin's career, becoming just the 16th player in NHL history to reach the milestone. The 38-year-old winger has had a stunning career and continues to chase down Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goal-scoring title, but with just five goals and 15 points in 23 games, Ovechkin has been somewhat of a disappointment to fantasy managers to this point in the 2023-224 campaign.

Dishes two power-play helpers Ovechkin notched two power-play assists, five shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Ducks.

Impact Ovechkin set up two Tom Wilson power-play markers, with the latter of those goals standing as the game-winner. Prior to Thursday, Ovechkin had gone four games without a point. The 38-year-old winger is at a modest five tallies and nine assists through 20 contests this season. He's added 77 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-1 rating. It's unlikely Ovechkin shoots a meager 6.5 percent all season, but it's also possible his age is starting to catch up to him.

First even-strength goal this year Ovechkin scored two goals in a 4-1 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

Impact He opened the scoring at the mid-point of the first. Evgeny Kuznetsov won a draw back to Ovie, who wired it just inside the post under the glove of Semyon Varlamov from the left circle. It was Ovechkin's first even-strength goal this season. He also scored into an empty net. Ovie is the fourth player in Caps' history to have a multigoal game at age 38 years or older. Ovechkin has struggled to score this season -- he has four goals, two of which have gone into the empty net. Still, he has 11 points in 13 games, which leads the Caps.
