Alex Ovechkin is playing better than ever, having notched three assists in Wednesday’s 6-3 win against Montreal, giving him 18 in only 20 games and matching last season’s total in 25 fewer games. You read that right. He is now second in the league in points, one ahead of Connor McDavid and three behind Leon Draisaitl, but he’s doing this at 36 years old while those other kids are in their mid-twenties.
But don’t ask Ovi about it, because his answers won’t make complete sense. Tarik el-Bashir asked him if ‘something changed’ since his assist totals are skyrocketing.
