MOSCOW, Mar 19 Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette noted, that the Russian forward of the club of the National Hockey League (NHL) Alexander Ovechkin always wants to be on the ice and help the team. Ovechkin scored a goal that helped his team level the score at the end of the match, and a winning shootout. “He wants to do everything with his own hands. He doesn’t want to sit on the bench, he wants to be on the ice and make a difference. He is an outstanding player,” Lavioletta quotes the official website of the NHL. On Wednesday, Ovechkin scored his 767th goal in the NHL regular season in a match with the New York Islanders (4:3, in shootouts) and came third in the list of the best snipers in league history.
