Washington forward Ovechkin swore at a referee who interfered with him in an NHL match
Russian Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin swore at the referee in the National Hockey League (NHL) match against the Ottawa Senators. This was reported by a Lenta.ru correspondent.
The incident occurred at the end of the first period, when the line judge prevented the captain of the capital club from receiving the puck in the power play. “Get out of here,” Ovechkin shouted obscenely at him.
The meeting ended with a score of 6:3 in favor of Washington. Ovechkin did not show any effective actions. In addition, he did not make a single shot on target.
On February 21, 38-year-old Ovechkin closed the gap with Wayne Gretzky on the list of the best snipers in NHL history. The Russian has 838 goals scored, the Canadian has scored 894 times.
Ovechkin has been playing in the NHL since 2005, and throughout his overseas career he has played for Washington.
