Hockey player “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin will participate in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Moscow Dynamo football. It has been reported team social networks.
“Sasha Ovechkin is coming to the 100th Anniversary match!
Hereditary Dynamo player and hockey GOAT will spend this extraordinary day with us.
Great news!”, — stated in the message.
Dynamo will host Fakel Voronezh in the 25th week of the Russian Premier League (RPL). The match will be played on April 28.
It is worth noting that Ovechkin visited the matches of the blue and whites more than once and was a fan of the team. Last summer, he made his football debut from the very first minutes, appearing in the game of Dynamo Moscow with the Amkal blog team. In the 11th minute, the striker opened the score with the heel pass of Fedor Smolov. Ovechkin’s goal was the first and victorious in this match. After the goal, the hockey player was replaced.
According to the results of the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season, the Capitals ranked 13th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference and did not qualify for the playoffs. The team suffered eight losses in the last nine games of the season.
Ovechkin has appeared in 74 league games this season, scoring 42 goals and providing 33 assists. However, that didn’t help the Capitals reach the tournament’s playoffs.
