The hockey club "Washington Capitals" has once again found itself in a difficult position, suffering a serious defeat to the "New York Rangers" in a match that ended with a score of 3:7. This marks the sixth loss in the last seven games for the team, creating additional challenges in the fight for a playoff spot.
The team captain, Alexander Ovechkin, continued his goalless streak, which has now reached eight games, and he has gone five games without scoring any points. Nevertheless, he continues to contribute to his team's play by being active in physical plays. "Washington" took the lead thanks to goals from John Carlson, Dylan Strome, and Alexey Protas, but in the final period, the "Rangers" responded with a powerful attack, scoring five consecutive goals. The winning goal was recorded by Alexis Lafrenière with an assist from Artemi Panarin.
