“Being in such a company, being with Selanne, Lemieux is just great. But there is still a long way to go. Thanks to my partners for helping me, ”the Washington official quoted the Russian as saying.
He noted that he was just trying to do his job as best as possible in every game. The forward also noted that the team did not always succeed in realizing its moments in the first period, but the Capitals continued to impose its game on the opponent.
“It helped to achieve a result,” Ovechkin added.
In the regular season match with Ottawa Senators (6: 1), the Russian made a double. Now he has 684 goals in the NHL. Thus, he caught up with Teemu Selanne and came to 11th place in terms of this indicator in history.
It was previously reported that the Ovechkin double helped Washington defeat Ottawa in the NHL.
