Defender Sergachev about the game against Ovechkin: I slept for a second, and the puck is at the gate
The Russian defender of Utah Mikhail Sergachev spoke about the game against the captain and striker Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin in the National Hockey League (NHL). His words are given by Match TV.
Sergachev admitted that Ovechkin is hard to close, because he is very aimed at the gate and scores from everywhere. “You are kind of next to him, as if you are holding him. But literally slept for a second, and that’s all – a puck at the gate. For some reason, she always ends up at the gate, ”the defender said. He called the attacker creative, and his throw was very secretive.
Sergachev also said that he would not consider a shame if Ovechkin beats Wayne Gretzky’s record in the game with Utah. “Our main goal is to win the match. If we win, and Ovechkin will beat the record – yes for God’s sake. I will even be glad. I will go out onto the ice and will rejoice at Sasha. But it is better to let him do it with another club, ”he said.
In the current season, 39-year-old Ovechkin scored 26 goals and made 17 assists in 39 matches. It takes second place in terms of heads (879) in the NHL regular championships. The lag from the leading in this indicator Gretzka is 15 goals.
