Erik Gustafsson scored the only goal. Russian hockey players from “Washington”, including team captain Alexander Ovechkin, did not score with effective actions.
Ovechkin became the record holder for NHL games among Russians
Russians Kirill Marchenko and Vladislav Gavrikov took to the ice as part of Columbus. They didn’t score any points either.
Washington’s next opponent will be the Philadelphia Flyers. In turn, “Columbus” will play with “Tampa Bay Lightning”.
