NHL on NBC analyst Mike Milbury had some pointed criticisms of Alex Ovechkin during Washington’s 1-0 loss to the Isles on Tuesday:
The past few days have been rough for the Washington captain. He posted a career-worst minus-5 rating in a loss to Columbus last Thursday and his Capitals have lost three of their last four (with Ovi scoring just once over the four-game stretch).
What’s more, Washington currently sits three points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
