Washington Capitals Drop Another Game In Struggling Year
The Washington Capitals are having a so-so year, sitting in the middle of the Metro division standings. After another loss on Thursday night to the Dallas Stars, fans are starting to feel the pressure of a mediocre year. Some are going as far as calling for Capitals Star and face of the franchise Alexander Ovechkin to retire.
It is crazy to think that the Capitals have come to the point where they are starting to give up on their main leader who has bene the face of the team for nearly 20 years.
Ovechkin Chasing Gretzky's Record But Struggling
Ovechkin has undoubtedly struggled over the past few weeks, having just 2 assists in the last 7 games and 5 goals in 22 games this season. Despite that, he has reached a major milestone of 1500 points in his NHL career.
Alex Ovechkin records his 1500th career point with an assist becoming the 16th player in NHL history to reach the milestone.
We will see if Ovi will be able to catch Wayne Gretzky's goal record, one that many thought would be untouchable.
