Earlier, the NHL announced a roster of 32 hockey players for the All-Star Game – one from each team. They were selected from the league’s hockey operations department. Canadian forward Tom Wilson was selected by Washington. Among the Russians, the list of 32 included Tampa forward Nikita Kucherov, Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin and Minnesota forward Kirill Kaprizov. 12 other players will be selected through fan voting.
“I’m surprised he wasn’t called.” But he will have time to prepare for the record chase, I don’t think he will be too offended. He’s already an NHL legend. I don’t know what the status of these matches is for Ovechkin, he has been playing there for 10 years, well, what is the status, he is already the greatest player,” Kozhevnikov told .
Ovechkin, 38, ranks second on the league’s all-time goalscoring list with 830 goals, 64 behind Canada’s Wayne Gretzky (894).
