Ovechkin updated a unique record and dragged Washington to the second round of Stanley Ovechkin Cup, NHL left the 76th.

Washington Capitals – Montreal Canadiens – 4: 1

In the first round of the Stanley Cup, the confrontation of Alexander Ovalkin and Ivan Demidov was the most tidbine meal for Russian hockey lovers. Wayne Gretzki’s sniper recording of the full experienced Washington leader from the playoffs, if not the glory of Ovechkin, at least a distinguished career behind the ocean against the 19 -year -old striker went on ice.

However, a real drama did not work here. At the end of the NHL Normal Championship, Demidov, who left the disk in his first match for Montreal, was noted by only two assistants in playoffs. He’s not bad on his own, but he didn’t develop the general statistics of Canadiens, who lost the Washington series almost unlucky.

However, Montreal, who was jumped from the joker card from the eighth place in the Eastern Conference ranking, was an Anderdog in this conflict, so no revelation occurred.

“Washington” took the series safely and unlike the young citizen, Ovechkin was dragged here. He scored three goals in three games, scored four abandoned goals for his presence, and the person who opened an account in the decisive game of the series: 10 minutes of the ovi noticed the majority.

“Capital” won the right circle, flew to the center of the region to Alexander, and sent it from the net in communication.

Until the first break, Jacob Chicran strengthened the advantage of hosts, and Tom Wilson in the second period burned the light outside the Canadiens gates for the third time. At the beginning of the last 20 minutes, Emil Heineman played a disk, but half a minute before the final score was Siren Brandon Ducham.

Thus, the 11th Stanley Cup series has won the 11th Stanley Cup series since his career began. After the match, he managed to transfer with a handsome citizen, including Demidov. What Alexander the Great said is unknown, but it seemed like words from outside.

“Ovi was amazing”

After the match, Washington Spencer’s head coach did not interfere with the captain of the captain. The expert stressed that his team is Ovechkin, who allowed him to be liberated in this game.

“It was magnificent, he scored the most important goals in this series. Today we have seen a great example of it, because when you are difficult for you, when you try to enter the game, it is extremely important to leave this first disk. Press service NHL.

Ovechkin has noticed that you can rejoice now, but from the next day you need to prepare for the second round of the Stanley Cup.

“Now we need to focus on the first game of the second round. In general – yes, we have won the series and we will enjoy today. And tomorrow will be a new day, so we need to approach him competently, we need to continue the game,” the captain of the “capital” said.

Washington’s rival is already known in the next round. The capitals will be played with Carolina Hurricanes, who also came out of the New Jersey struggle in five games. Four Russian hockey players – former Washington defender Dmitry Orlov, Andrei Svechnikov, Peter Kochetkov and Alexander Nikishin.

In addition, Ovi continued to pursue Wayne Gretzka’s other sniper record. Before the repetition of the legendary Canada’s outcome, there were 43 more goals for Alexander the Great.

Ovechkin also abandoned the 30th disk in the majority playoffs and jumped Mario Lemier. Russian striker, the list of the best players in the Stanley Cup matches, is now fifth with Joe Pavelski and Niclas Lindstrom.
