Alex Ovechkin Extends Goal Streak On Tuesday
4 years agoWashington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin deposited the game-winning goal and added a helper to lead his team to a 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. Ovechkin's second-period tally extended his goal streak to four games and he's now found the back of the net in five of his past six contests. As streaky of a goal scorer as the 35-year-old can be throughout his illustrious career, it's not unreasonable to think that he can still compete for another Rocket Richard Trophy yet again this season. With 12 goals (and 11 assists) through 25 games, Ovechkin is on pace to return top-10 fantasy value in 2020-2021 - vaulted up by his outstanding peripherals (nine power-play points, 102 shots, 56 hits).
