“Ovechkin is no longer 25 years old” – Mogilny on the performance of the Washington forward

Former hockey player for a number of NHL clubs, Alexander Mogilny, believes that the low performance of Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin at the beginning of the current season is due to the player’s age.

This season, Ovechkin scored 59 points (26 goals, 33 assists) in 71 NHL regular season games. In November-December last year, the 38-year-old hockey player’s goalless streak reached 14 matches.

— Alexander Ovechkin spent the first half of this season frankly weakly, what could this be connected with? Only Alexander can know this. First of all, let’s also not forget that this is a serious load, and Alexander is no longer 25 years old. It seems to me that he already sees this finish line, where Wayne Gretzky’s record is. In my opinion, this had a little influence.

I’m glad that he found strength in himself, everyone supported him. Because we are all riding in this cart (laughs), we all want to see him conquer this record, we can’t wait for this moment! So I’m glad that everything is working out for him now. May God grant him health and success,” the Championship quotes Mogilny as saying.
