Ovechkin reacted to the repetition of the Jagra record for the number of victorious goals in NHL matches
The captain of Washington, Alexander Ovechkin, called the fact that he was able to repeat the record of Yaromir Jagra in the number of victorious goals in the NHL matches.
On February 23, Ovechkin scored the 135th victorious goal in the NHL career in the regular championship match against Edmonton (7: 3). This is a repetition of a record belonging to Yaromir Jagra.
– Your second goal in the match with Edmonton was the victorious for the team, and you repeated the record of Yaromir Jagra by the number of decisive goals. How important is this achievement to you?
– Each achievement is work. This record speaks more about teamwork, because they take me to the throw, take it to a position when I need to complete. Therefore, there is a team merit.
– In the match with Pittsburgh, you spent a lasting for almost five minutes – this is your third in length shift in a career in the NHL. How comfortable are you to play such long shifts?
– It was the majority. We had “five by three”, then “five by four”. Therefore, we were in someone else’s zone, and the most important thing is that we move the puck and move ourselves. If you look at how we played, then we had a lot of points for taking the gate. But they did not score.
– Last season you took a break in Dubai, this time in Miami. Why did you decide to change the plans for a pause in the NHL?
– This year we talked with our wife and decided to go to Miami, all the more the weather was good, we were lucky. We rested on the beach, worked a little and with fresh forces in battle! – quotes Ovechkin’s Telegram channel of his team.
On the account of Ovechkin 882 goals in the NHL regular championships, the 39 -year -old striker takes second place in the list of the best snipers in the history of the League, second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky (894).

The NHL returned after the Christmas break and several derbies took place on the first day of play.
New York Islanders beat the Rangers with a score of 2:0 on their home ice, extending their streak to five and taking second place in their league behind Carolina.
Another battle between neighbors Florida and Tampa Bay ended 4:2 in favor of the Lightning. Both teams in the Atlantic Group are in the top 4.
Maple won the Canadian derby between Toronto and Ottawa 7:5, while forward Auston Matthews scored three points. That’s right, Toronto is still second to last in the East.
In the west, Calgary won its derby against Edmonton 3-2, but Oilers captain Connor McDavid scored in 12 straight games.
Among other results, we highlight San Jose’s victory over Vancouver 6:3 thanks to McClean Celebrini’s 20th goal of the season, as well as table leaders Colorado’s hard-fought victory over Vegas 6:5 in the penalty shootout.
