Football prediction Kuznetsov about Washington: A lot of skilled hockey players came. Strong headquarters. The progress is colossal when compared with last season. This is also reflected in Ovechkin`s game.

Evgeny Kuznetsov spoke about Alexander Ovechkin`s performance in the 2024/25 season. This season, the 39-year-old hockey player has scored 15 goals and given 10 assists in 18 games.
Alexander Ovechkin ranks second in regular-season goals in NHL history (868), behind only Wayne Gretzky (894).
- Why didn`t Ovechkin perform as impressively last season as he did this season?
- If I had known, I probably would have told him. And it`s so hard to judge. There are many different factors. And not everything depends on the hockey player.
It is clear that Washington plays differently now; many skilled hockey players have joined the roster. Very strong coaching staff. It feels like the team has changed for the better. Washington`s progress is colossal when compared with last season. This is also reflected in Ovechkin`s game.
- Why did Alexander the Great seem 10 years younger this season? What do you attribute this to?
- Maybe he just decided to score all the goals this season in order to overtake Gretzky and call it a day? So as not to delay this mission for two years, but to complete it now.
- What is behind this work of Ovechkin on self-improvement that the fans don`t see?
- In the summer he works a lot, of course. He has a strong physical training coach, Pasha [Burlachenko]. He knows Ovechkin inside and out: what works for him and what doesn`t.
And he builds his preparation based on this so that Sasha always approaches the season in good physical shape, " said SKA forward Evgeny Kuznetsov, who previously played for Washington.
