Former goalkeeper of the Washington Capitals club of the National Hockey League (NHL), Michal Neuvirth, said that his best memories were when he played with the capital’s Russian forward Alexander Ovechkin. His words lead the way sports.cz.
“Ovechkin is one of the best captains. I’d say he’s the most Americanized of all the Russians I’ve played with. Although he himself is a great patriot and so on. He is an excellent hockey player with great skills. “Hats off to his career,” Neuwirth said.
In a game against the Colorado Avalanche on February 14, Ovechkin scored a goal. For him, this is the sixth consecutive match in which a goal has been scored. Ovechkin’s goal streak (goals + assists) in the current NHL season has already reached a total of seven games (6+3).
The Russian forward played in a total of 49 games in the NHL regular season this season and recorded 14 goals and 23 assists in these games.
The Russian continues to pursue Wayne Gretzky’s sniping record. The Moscow striker has 836 goals. The legendary Canadian scored 894 goals in his NHL career; Ovechkin currently trails him by 58 goals.
