Regular Season:
Playoffs:
Key Stat: Skating in 46 NHL games Kovalchuk averaged more than half a point per game this season (.56) for the first time since 2013.
The Good: In seven regular season games with Washington Kovalchuk tallied four points and all were scored at even strength. In his fifth game with Washington Kovalchuk’s three point performance (1G, 2A) against the Rangers had him looking like the offensive threat he used to be in Atlanta and New Jersey. He found his spot in the middle six forwards and appeared to be trending up as play was suspended in March.
