Alexander Ovechkin’s Washington suffered a crushing defeat in the NHL’s home match with Edmonton.
Washington lost at home to Canadian Edmonton on Friday with a score of 0:5.
After the end of the first period, Ovechkin received a two-minute penalty for hitting Canadian Vincent Dearnay in the face with his stick. Before this, Ovechkin tried to use a power move once morest Deharne, but the Canadian managed to dodge.
At the end of the second period, with the score 4:0 in favor of the Canadian club, Washington goalkeeper Charlie Lindgren played confidently on the way out, but a few moments later he knocked down Ovechkin, who returned to defense to help his teammates. Ovechkin lost his balance at speed and fell in the throw-in circle. From the outside, the fall looked painful for the Russian forward.
In the third period, with the score 5:0 in favor of Edmonton, Russian Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov won a face-off on the power play and passed the ball to Ovechkin, who hit the visitors’ goal. But the goal was not counted. The goal was canceled due to the fact that a violation of the throw-in procedure was recorded on the part of Kuznetsov.
