Russian sport abroad not only promotes Alexander Ovechkin but also all the athletes whose names are inscribed in the history of the world, agent and hockey expert Alexei Dementiev told RB Sport, commenting on the new achievement of the Pittsburgh Penguins striker. Yevgeny Malkin.
In a game with the Anaheim Ducks (6:3), Malkin scored his 1200th NHL point.
– I am very happy that Evgeni Malkin conquers new heights and records. May God grant him health, strength and the chance to play the same way all the time that will be given to him in hockey. Score points and become the person who promotes Russian sports and our hockey players on the international stage.
– Our sport abroad is promoted not only by Alexander Ovechkin?
– Certainly. It is promoted by all of our athletes who set records and whose names go down in world history. Ovechkin is an outstanding hockey player, no one begs for his quality, strength and dignity, but there are other athletes who contribute to it. And hockey is a team game, it takes an environment to win world championships, Stanley Cup, Gagarin Cup and other competitions.
Malkin became the fourth current player in the league to reach that mark. More than 1,200 points were also scored by Malkin’s teammate Sidney Crosby, Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin and Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane.
