Russian forward “Washington Capitals” Alexander Ovechkin named the first star of the last game day in the National Hockey League. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
The hockey player scored a double in the match with the Calgary Flames, and Washington won with a score of 5: 4. Now the Russian has 766 goals in the regular NHL championships – according to this indicator, he caught up with the legendary Czech Jaromir Jagr, who held the title of third sniper in league history for more than six years.
At the same time, the publication clarifies that Ovechkin spent 480 matches in the league less than Jaromir Jagr. The latter is also noticeably ahead of the Russian hockey player in assists – the Czech has almost twice as many. In addition, Alexander Ovechkin still has something to strive for – ranked second in league history, Gordie Howe, is ahead of him by 35 goals, and Wayne Gretzky – by 128.
Ovechkin has been playing in the National Hockey League since 2005. He helped the Washington Capitals win the Stanley Cup for the first time in club history.
