NHL: Is Alexander Ovechkin missing something this year?

Question

Can someone tell me that Is Alexander Ovechkin missing something this year?

Answer 1

TBD's Dan Rowinski has noticed that Alexander Ovechkin seems to be missing a bit of his spark this year, writing that "the cocky thump that has defined the Russian superstar to start his career does not seem to be present 14 games into this season." He says the team-high four hits Ovie registered against the Flyers Sunday were deceptive, as he passed on hits he would have made two years ago.
