Capitals: Top 5 takeaways of the season so far
#1 There’s no slowing down Alex Ovechkin
Alex Ovechkin continues to defy age and this season was no different. It’s truly a shame that the season was paused in that we won’t know whether or not Ovechkin would have another 50-goal season. Looking at his current numbers leaves little doubt he would be able to reach that number.
In 68 games before the pause Ovechkin scored 48 goals and added 19 assists for 67 points. He also scored his 700th goal when the Caps were in New Jersey back in February and in his career has 706 goals.
Ovechkin’s 48 goals are tied for the league lead with David Pastrnak of the Boston Bruins. He also leads the league with 35 of those goals coming at even strength while the other 13 came on the power play.
It’s truly amazing that Ovechkin continues to defy age and father time and it helps out the Caps that he continues to be one of the top players on the team making an impact game after game, night after night.
