The Russian attackerWashington » Alexander Ovechkin appreciated the importance of defeating New Jersey in the NHL regular season game.

– Today was a very important match for us, everyone in the locker room knew it. It was a four-point game. We got off to a good start and Mikey (Connor McMichael) did a great job. Chucky (Charlie Lindgren) was amazing today. We played well shorthanded, which was important in the second period. The most important thing is that we didn’t stop in the third period, as often happens with us. We played a good game, played smart and won the most important points,” Ovechkin told reporters in the locker room after the match.
