nhl.com

On the night of May 12 (MSK), the fifth game of the NHL playoffs Florida Panthers – Washington Capitals first-round series took place. The meeting ended with a victory for the Panthers – 5:3.

Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin provided an assist. Thus, the Russian hockey player repeated the franchise record by assisting in all five games since the start of the playoffs. That’s what defender Scott Stevens did only in 1984.

In addition to this, Ovechkin currently has 69 Stanley Cup assists. He finished 6th among the Russians in the NHL playoffs, defeating Sergey Gonchar on assists. Ovechkin’s next target is Pavel Datsyuk – the position of 71. The holder of the record is Sergey Fedorov – 124.

Recall that the score in the series was 3-2 in favor of Florida. The next match between the teams will be played on 14 May.
