The Russian striker for Washington Alexander Ovechkin admitted to being shocked by his teammate’s decision Nicklas Backström suspend your professional career due to injury.
“When I heard about this, to be honest, I was shocked. He’s my teammate, he’s my friend. It’s very difficult to see how he experiences this,” quotes journalist Sammy Silber on social media.
On Wednesday, we learned that the 35-year-old Swede had decided to put his career on hold. In June 2022, the hockey player underwent surgery on his left hip, due to which he missed most of the 2022/23 NHL season.
Backstrom has been playing for Washington since 2007. In total, he has played 1,105 NHL games and scored 1,033 points (271+762).
