Alexander Ovechkin: I'm not 100 percent healthy
The consequences of the injury did not prevent his participation in the match with the “Colorado”.
Forward "Washington Capitals" Alexander Ovechkin said that he had not yet fully recovered from his injury, despite the fact that he participated in the NHL duel with the "Colorado Avalanche" (2:3).
Ovechkin scored 31 goals of the season in this fight. She became for him the 447th abandoned on the road in regular season and playoff matches - this is a new league record.
"I can't say that I was 100% healthy, but I was able to play," the club's press service quoted him as saying.
Ovechkin is optimistic about the team's performance despite the loss.
"I think that if we play like this, we will win a lot of matches," he concluded.
