Kirill Kaprizov, who tied the franchise record for goals in a season, began a bright comeback. This NHL season can be called magnificent for Russian hockey in the sense that the Russians are actively rewriting the history of the entire league and forcing North America to sing their laudatory odes. Of course, to a greater extent this is due to the name of Alexander Ovechkin. Literally every game of the Washington Capitals is accompanied by a bunch of news that Ovi, with his goals, assists, and in general, absolutely any actions on the court, beats even the most unimaginable and exotic records. A kind of challenge to Alexander this season was thrown by Kirill Kaprizov. Like Ovechkin, Kaprizov is already a full-fledged leader of his club. So much so that the current “Minnesota” is impossible to imagine without a young Russian striker. Sounds a lot like Ovi's situation with the Capitals, doesn't it? Remarkably, both are fighting among themselves for the title of the best Russian sniper and scorer this season.
