The NHL Network is out with its annual rankings of the best players at each position “right now.”
Despite tying for the league lead in goals (48) with David Pastrnak, Alex Ovechkin has dropped a spot from last year.
Ovechkin is the only Capitals forward in the top 20 and ranks fourth, trailing Hart Trophy finalist Artemi Panarin, Pastrnak, and last year’s Hart Trophy winner Nikita Kucherov.
Ovechkin had 67 points (48g, 19a) in 68 games last season. He was on pace for 57 goals before the coronavirus pandemic ended the season early.
What do you think of Ovechkin’s ranking?
