Miroshnichenko had two assists in a 4-3 NHL preseason win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday.
— For a young person, going out on the ice surrounded by stars is a real event. Ivan wanted to show what he could do, and he showed it. You can congratulate him. The main thing is that he draws conclusions, not to catch a star, but to continue growing. Our compatriots will help him, we are not abandoning ours. The guy is young and talented, he needs help. And in general, you have to help the talented guys, the less talented ones will go over everyone’s heads.
– You said it was important that the guy didn’t catch the star. Will Ovechkin be able to hold him off if something happens?
– I think Sasha will not allow this. He will help him, put him on the right path. Ovechkin always silently supervised everyone and everything was fine,” Plyushchev told .
In May, Miroshnichenko, 19, signed a rookie contract with Washington.
