"Washington Capitals" captain and Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin has assessed the start of the new season for the Capitals team.

"Everything is good right now. We support each other. When you win matches, there is always such an atmosphere coming from the coaches and players. I hope it will continue like that, but it's going to be a long season. Obviously there are going to be ups and downs, so we have to stick together no matter what."
"Washington Capitals" after nine games have scored 14 points and sits in third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
