Ovechkin still enjoys scoring goals, but he's no longer the kid at Christmas he used to be. The goals don't come quite as easily anymore, at least not often enough to drown out the wave of criticism around him.

The Washington Capitals captain struggled on the defensive end and was again on the ice for some goals against in a loss.
