Washington Capitals’ Russian defender Alexander Alekseev in an interview “Sports Express” He compared teammate Alexander Ovechkin to Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid.
“Who is the hardest person to play against personally? McDavid is good of course! But in his last game with them, there were a few shifts when he recovered well and Connor had no choice but to just throw it into the zone.
Ovechkin or McDavid? Each of them has their own advantages… Ovechkin, of course,” Alekseev said.
