The 38-year-old winger is up to seven points with a minus-8 rating through 14 appearances in December. On the season, he's produced seven tallies, 21 points, 126 shots on net, 61 hits and a minus-9 rating while maintaining a top-line role. His shot volume is still significant, but he has a career-low 5.6 shooting percentage. That's well below his average of 12.9 percent over his previous 18 seasons. |

Ovechkin had six shots ad 14 shot attempts Saturday in a 3-1 loss to Nashville.. - He has not scored in his past 12 games, the longest drought of his NHL career. Ovechkin is connecting on just five percent of his shots, which is a fraction of his career 12.8 rate. And two of his five goals have gone in to an empty net. Ovie is on pace for about 16 goals, which would be his lowest single-season total. We're prepared to give Ovechkin the benefit of the doubt. Yes, his shots per game have declined slightly, but the rate is still elite. His puck luck is non-existent right now -- he should have 10 or 11 goals at this point. He's going to break out soon. |

Ovechkin tallied a power-play assist and added three shots during Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Stars. - The helper marked the 1,500th point of Ovechkin's career, becoming just the 16th player in NHL history to reach the milestone. The 38-year-old winger has had a stunning career and continues to chase down Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goal-scoring title, but with just five goals and 15 points in 23 games, Ovechkin has been somewhat of a disappointment to fantasy managers to this point in the 2023-224 campaign. |

Ovechkin scored a power-play goal Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to Toronto. He fired 14 shots. - It was the most non-Ovechkin goal that Ovie could score. He wired a shot from his office that was stopped, and as the play developed, he parked on the right post. Ovechkin then tapped in a hard pass from John Carlson behind a sprawling Joseph Woll with only 11 seconds left in the second. Much has been discussed about the 38-year-old's apparent decline, especially in shots, but his 14 shots suddenly change that story, at least on the surface. Still, new NHL Edge data suggest there may be genuine slippage in his game. Ovechkin's maximum shot speed has dropped from 101.52 mph in 2021-22 to 91.06 this season. And his max skating speed has declined from 22.16 mph to 19.91 in the same span. The sample size this season is small, but even the drop from 2021-22 to 2022-23 seems significant. |
