Ovechkin Looks to Reignite Scoring Touch for Capitals' Playoff Push
Alex Ovechkin aims to find his scoring form as the Washington Capitals resume play after the All-Star break.
Ovechkin Returns Energized
After enjoying a week-long vacation with his family in Dubai, Alex Ovechkin eagerly returns to the ice as the Washington Capitals' first player in their post-All-Star Game practice.
Ovechkin believes the break allowed the players to refresh and put their focus on family, allowing them to come back rejuvenated and ready to play.
The team looks forward to a great day of hockey as they prepare to face the Montreal Canadiens in their upcoming game.
Ovechkin's Struggles and Scoring Woes
With a disappointing season so far, Ovechkin hopes to overcome his scoring difficulties and rediscover his form.
While he has 31 points in 44 games, he has only managed to score 9 goals, far below his usual standards.
Ovechkin has never scored fewer than 32 goals in an 82-game season, but this year has posed a challenge for him.
Hopes for a Strong Finish
A strong performance from Ovechkin in the remaining games could greatly boost the Capitals' chances of making it to the playoffs.
Currently, the team is trailing behind the Philadelphia Flyers by five points in the Metropolitan Division.
The Capitals also face the challenge of their low-scoring offense, with only a few players managing to find the back of the net consistently.
