Athletistic / Hockey. Last night, the Washington Capitals lost to the Montreal Canadiens with a score of 2:5 in their next home game of the NHL regular season. Captain Alexander Ovechkin scored one of the goals for the capital team.
In 45 games this season in the NHL, the 38-year-old Russian scored 32 points for his performance – he scored 10 goals and contributed 22 assists. It should be noted that for Ovechkin, the meeting with Montreal was the 1392nd of his NHL career. This helped the Dynamo Moscow graduate to overtake the legendary Canadian Doug Mons in terms of the number of appearances in the NHL and take 43rd place on the list of players with the most appearances in the North American League. Czech defender Roman Hamrlik (1395 matches) has become a new benchmark for Ovechkin.
