NHL: Washington's incredible 14th win

Captain of Washington's "Capitals" Alexander Ovechkin scored a hat-trick in a match with Pittsburgh "Penguins" (5:4 OT) and helped the team extend its winning streak to 14 matches. After the game during the interview in the locker room the Russian striker assured: even with a bad start his team did not lose faith in the successful outcome of the match.

- It's always nice to win, especially when initially not everything turns out the way you wanted - said Ovechkin in a video interview for official website of NHL . - Yes, the match started unlucky for us, but it's great that we were able to return to the game and win by the end. It's always nice to score, moreover, in such big matches. But this victory is the result of teamwork, which, I believe it deserved.

In the first period we, indeed, made several mistakes. And the opponent has enough skillfull players who can punish for them, especially in fast attacks. But in any case, we had time to have our revenge, we score few goals, so it was necessary to continue the fight, which we did. It's great that we were able to return to the game, conceding two and then three goals.

Regarding the not so powerful, as usual, support by the public in the first period, I think, that the weather is blame. Not all the fans managed to get to the arena in time. But in the third period they frantically drove us forward.

About my game I can say: I play as I can. And if something doesn't work, I have partners who can help.
