Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev reacted to the achievement of Russian forward of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin, who managed to surpass former Calgary Flames forward Canadian Jerome Iginla in the list of the best NHL assistants of all time.
According to this indicator, Ovechkin came in 68th place. On Thursday, in the regular season match with the New York Islanders (3:2 OT), the Russian scored an assist, which became his 676th in the league. Iginla has 675 assists. First place goes to Wayne Gretzky (1963), second place to Ron Francis (1249), third place to Mark Messier (1193).
— I have always said that Alexander strives to play for the team’s results. When I was a player, the coach said: if your game is not going well, work for your partner. Ovechkin doesn’t score, but he benefits Washington and helps get points. He is a versatile player. I’m sure that he will break his goalless streak,” RT quotes Plyushchev.
At the same time, Ovechkin did not score in the 14th game in a row in the NHL and updated his personal record.
