MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian hockey legend Alexander Ovechkin, who is the captain of Washington Capitals, said ahead of his 20th season in the National Hockey League (NHL) that scoring goals was getting harder every year.
"Every year, it’s harder and harder to score," Ovechkin said, as quoted by the Caps' website. "Teams play differently, and goalies play differently. We’re just going to try to do our best to score goals, win games, and do all kinds of stuff."
Later in the night, the Caps lost to New Jersey Devils 3-5, with Ovechkin making his 698th assist in the league.
