Andronov: “Shipachev is a figure comparable in the KHL to Alexander Ovechkin”
Olympic hockey champion and two-time Gagarin Cup winner Sergei Andronov said that Dynamo Minsk forward Vadim Shipachev is the face of domestic hockey.
Currently, the top scorer in league history has 999 (314+685) career points.
— Can we say that Shipachev is a figure comparable to Alexander Ovechkin for the KHL?
– I think so. Vadim is a long-lived member of the league, the face of our hockey. I would like to see even more attention paid to this. It seems to me that his achievement does not receive enough attention,” Andronov said on the “Gromko” program on the Match TV channel.
In the next match, which will take place on January 12, the Minsk team will host Admiral Vladivostok. Shipachev could become the first player in KHL history to reach the 1,000-point mark.
