Coach of Spartak Moscow and Stanley Cup winner with the New York Rangers Alexey Kovalev in an interview with he stated that “Vegas” can win a second consecutive NHL championship.
Last season, the Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup for the first time in their history. The 2023/24 NHL season begins on October 10.
— The NHL season starts soon. Who do you think will win the Stanley Cup?
— Champion Vegas will be one of the favorites. There is such a team there that they will go for the Stanley Cup again. But since the NHL established a salary cap, all teams have stabilized. And you never know what to expect from who.
Carolina is a very good team and plays excellent defense. Of course, the majority may suffer from this. But they have a good defense, and these are the defensemen who seem to score the most goals in the NHL. It is also a contender club.
I can’t tell you how much Pittsburgh has improved. But the arrival of Erik Karlsson is their big plus. Although you never know with injuries and all kinds of events… But if you want my predictions, then I would predict “Vegas,” Kovalev told .
Kovalev ranks second after Alexander Ovechkin among Russians in terms of the number of matches in the NHL regular season and fifth in points scored.
