Ovechkin ranks 2nd on the list of best snipers in NHL history. The Russian has scored 836 goals. Topping the list is the legendary Wayne Gretzky (894).
“Alexander Ovechkin remains very motivated. Apparently, his streak of goals is due to the fact that the team selected people who fit his style and help him finish dangerous moments.
Kaprizov admitted that the Russian national team will never be allowed to participate in international tournaments
This result was completely expected, because he is a great man and he knows what he is doing.
It is very likely that Alexander will be able to complete the pursuit of Wayne Gretzky next season,” Kozhevnikov is quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
