The Capitals lost another sturdy one last after dark, letting depart to 1-9 in their last 10 overtime recreational activities in a 2-1 shootout forfeit to the New York Rangers. Given the one objective, it's sturdy to find too more positives in the loss. However, I'll find one anyway: Alex Ovechkin is discharging the puck again.

Much has been made of Ovechkin's strives this time of the year, but it views like he's broken out of his slump. He had a cap ploy in resistance to the Maple Leafs on Saturday after dark, and looks like to be playing with more pep in his step recently. The very large justification for his enhanced play? He's truly discharging the puck on goal.

Ovechkin went through a five-game elongate where he took just 12 shots on objective, and that won't slice it. In the last two recreational activities, even so, we've observed an uptick. He took eight shots on objective in the game in resistance to Toronto, and had six more in last night's loss. None encountered the mesh in resistance to the Rangers, but that's hockey. It happens. The valued thing is to find a way to put shots on net.

If he retains that up, the goals will come. At the very slightest, bestowed the Capitals' advanced with accent on on colliding fiercely the mesh, Ovechkin will set up risks for colleagues to lean over shots in. Here's promising he carries on to be aggressive.
