Tonight Alex Ovechkin broke a crazy record that has shown potential signs of him slowing down. Tonight Ovechkin failed to record a shot against the Ottawa Senators. This was his second game in a row without a shot. This is the first time Ovechkin has gone two games without a shot.
The Capitals season is off to a horrendous start winning just one out of three games. On top of this, Alex Ovechkin remains without a goal. New head coach Spencer Carbery was supposed to bring a more offense-centered fun style of play to the Capitals. Instead, they have struggled to succeed and Ovechkin has looked subpar.
While the team as a whole has struggled one has to wonder if this is a sign to come of the play from Alex Ovechkin. He is now 38 and father time catches everyone eventually.
Let's all hope that Ovechkin gets back to his old self and we can watch him properly chase history as he hunts down Wayne Gretzky's goal record.
