Panarin and Tarasenko helped the Rangers beat Washington without injured Ovechkin
In New York, USA, the match of the regular season of the National Hockey League, in which the New York Rangers took on the Washington Capitals, ended. The hosts won with a score of 5:3.
The score of the meeting at the Madison Square Garden stadium was opened by the Swedish forward of the Rangers Mika Zibanejad with a pass from Vladimir Tarasenko. Two Russians took part in the second goal attack of the Rangers at once – the team’s goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin and striker Artemy Panarin. Zibanejad scored a brace, and a Russian athlete, Vladimir Tarasenko, also took part in his first goal.
Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin missed the game due to a lower body injury.
The Rangers are fifth in the Eastern Conference with 86 points and Washington are in 11th place with 71 points.
Earlier, Ovechkin named the reason for the defeats of his team. “Obviously we need to start better. Two matches in a row, we enter the game slowly, we act softly. We need to continue to train and play, and then we’ll see, ”he said.
Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL since 2005. He spent all seasons in North America with Washington. Together with the club, the hockey player won the Stanley Cup in 2018. He ranks second in the list of the best scorers in the history of the league, behind only Canadian Wayne Gretzky.
