Ovechkin is third in the league this season with 40 goals but has been stuck on No. 698 for the past four games, his longest scoring drought of the season. He attempted 16 shots in Washington's last game, a 3-1 loss at Arizona on Saturday night. Eight ended up on goal, five were blocked and one of the three others hit the post.
"Of course, you want to get it over with and move forward," Ovechkin told NHL.com following Saturday's game. "You can't be focusing and thinking like, 'Oh, I didn't score. It's over.' Sooner or later it will come."
