Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin continues his goalless streak at the start of the NHL season. The captain of the 'Capitals' has not been able to score a goal in four consecutive games.
In the night match against the Tampa Bay Lightning, which ended with a victory for the hosts in overtime with a score of 3:2, Ovechkin again failed to score.
In 20 seasons in the league, such a four-game goalless streak at the start has happened to him only twice — in the 2023/2024 and 2012/2013 seasons. Ovechkin has never had a five-game streak.
In the 2025/26 season, Ovechkin has 2 (0+2) points in 4 games.
With 6 points in 4 games, the Washington Capitals are in 3rd place in the Eastern Conference standings.
