Defender “Carolina Hurricanes” Dmitry Orlov answered the question about his actions in the event of a repeated fight between a teammate Andrei Sveshnikov and former partner “Washington” Alexander Ovechkin .
In the spring of 2019, Ovechkin and Svechnikov met in a fight on the ice, from which Alexander emerged victorious. On July 1, 2023, Orlov, in unrestricted free agent status, signed a two-year contract with Carolina for a total of $15.5 million. Last season, the 31-year-old played for Washington and Boston.
– Is it a relief for you that you are no longer asked about Ovechkin?
– Yes why? I think they will also ask me about Sasha. When we play against Washington, they will definitely ask us. And in Carolina, some questions will be asked for sure.
– Imagine the scene: you were on the ice, and Andrei Svechnikov and Ovechkin fought again. Your shares?
“I think it’s unlikely to happen,” Orlov told .
Dmitry Orlov played 709 NHL regular season games, scoring 273 points (64+209). In the NHL playoffs – 81 games and 31 points (2+29). Orlov won the Stanley Cup in 2018 with the Washington Capitals.
