Washington Capitals have eight wins in 11 outings
Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin celebrates his goal with defenceman Martin Fehervary, back, during the first period against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Nov. 2, 2024, in Washington.Alex Ovechkin approached linemates Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas after the second game of the Washington Capitals’ season to do some film study.
“We’re connecting, playing for each other, and that’s the most important thing,” Ovechkin said Tuesday. “It doesn’t matter if you’re scoring goals or make an assist, you just have to do the same thing over and over again.” Ovechkin taking it into his own hands by reviewing game tape with younger teammates is something coach Spencer Carbery called “Leadership 101.” Protas said it has been very helpful, and it doesn’t hurt that the advice came from a superstar with Ovechkin’s résumé.
Strome doesn’t necessarily disagree. His philosophy when playing with Ovechkin is simple: “Get him the puck.” And it’s not just Ovechkin, Strome and Protas who are producing. Connor McMichael has matched Ovechkin with seven goals, and Tom Wilson has six to begin his new contract in style.
