The 2012 Olympic champion as a member of the Russian volleyball team, Maxim Mikhailov, called the record of Washington Capitals club captain Alexander Ovechkin for the number of goals in the NHL regular championships the main event of the 21st century for Russian sports.
— Alexander Ovechkin’s record became the main event in the 21st century for Russian sports. This is a significant event and a big boost for our sport.
I also followed the news myself, but due to the time zone I can’t watch the Washington Capitals matches. If Ovechkin returns to Dynamo before the end of his career, it will be a good promotion of hockey for children. It’s clear from him how reverently he treats Russia,” Metaratings.ru quotes Mikhailov as saying.
Ovechkin is 40 years old. Last season, he broke Wayne Gretzky’s record and became the best sniper in the history of the NHL regular championships; the Russian now has 907 goals. Taking into account playoff matches, Ovechkin has 984 goals, according to this indicator he is second only to Wayne Gretzky (1016).
