Summary
-- Alex Ovechkin said he's enjoying playing as much as ever and is looking forward to more fun in the second half of the Washington Capitals' schedule.The 36-year-old forward leads the NHL with 27 goals and 56 points in 41 games heading into the Capitals' game against the Ottawa Senators at Capital One Arena on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; SN1, NBCSWA, ESPN+, NHL LIVE). So, I think that's the most important thing."In his 17th NHL season, Ovechkin has shown no signs of slowing down and has helped the Capitals (22-10-9) to fourth place in the Metropolitan Division despite the team dealing with a myriad of injuries and players missing games in NHL COVID-19 protocol. "It's just the middle of the season and it's hard to predict what's going to happen at the end of the season."Ovechkin is three goals away from reaching 30 for the 16th time, which would move him one ahead of Jaromir Jagr for the second most 30-goal seasons in NHL history and put him one behind Mike Gartner's League record of 17.The nine-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner, as the top goal-scorer in the NHL, failed to hit the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career last season when he scored 24 goals in 45 games, when the League played a 56-game schedule because of concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. Ovechkin missed an NHL career-high 11 games (four while in COVID-19 protocol and seven with a groin injury), causing some to wonder if he was beginning to slow down.But Ovechkin has rebounded and is the only Capitals player not to miss a game so far this season.
