Athletistic/Hockey. Minnesota Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov explained why he chose Alexander Ovechkin as captain of the Washington Capitals over Sidney Crosby.

“Crosby or Ovechkin? Are you asking this question specifically because I said that I really like Crosby? (smiles). I choose Sasha, he is a compatriot, I know him well personally. But I also really like the Crosby’s style of play, he is one of my favorite players, who I have followed and watched for a long time,” Kaprizov said in a broadcast on the Super League channel.

In the current season of the National Hockey League (NHL), Kaprizov took part in 75 matches in which he scored 96 (46+50) points.

Recall that Minnesota ended the 2023/2024 season because it failed to qualify for the NHL playoffs, finishing 10th in the Western Conference. In 82 matches, the team scored 86 points.
