“What can I say? Kovalchuk is great. It’s clear he wants to make money before retiring, but he’s still great. Such people can only be welcomed when they play at a level raised to 40. This means that Kovalchuk feels “He is in good shape. If they didn’t join the team, they would take a zero player,” Zavarzin told Match TV.
On Sunday, December 24, Kovalchuk played his first match after returning to Spartak. The 40-year-old hockey player scored a goal. The match ended with the victory of the Moscow team with a score of 5:2.
