Russian coach Andrei Nazarov wished the Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin keep scoring points and avoid injuries.
On Sunday, Ovechkin, 39, scored a hat-trick in the match against Vegas (5:2). The Russian forward ranks second in the list of best snipers in the history of regular NHL championships (866 goals), just behind Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).
— Our guys abroad continue to put the NHL on their toes; the spectators in the stands are crazy about this level of hockey and applaud the Russian hockey players. Today, Alexander Ovechkin scored a hat-trick for the first time since December 2022, returning to excellent form. Sasha surpassed Sergei Fedorov, becoming the best Russian sniper in the NHL at 39 years old. I would like to congratulate Ovechkin on another record and another achievement. The main thing I want is to not get injured and to continue in the same spirit.
We all live in difficult times: our enemies do not sleep, they try to create a lot of problems for us, but they do not understand that in fact these problems are reflected and multiplied for them. The strength of the Russian people lies in their unity. We will not be intimidated; we follow our own path, united around our national leader. Victory will be ours,” Nazarov said on “Championship.”
