Washington is interested in holding an NHL match in Russia

It is reported by the Washington Post.

It is noted that this can happen as early as next season.

“We talked about matches abroad, including in Russia and Sweden. We are not 100% sure, as the league decides. They discussed the option with China, where there might be an exhibition game. I’m not very interested in this opportunity, ”said Capitals President Dick Patrick.

Four Russian players are in the Washington squad: Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov and Ilya Samsonov.

Earlier, Washington lost to Vancouver in the NHL shoot-out series.
