Dementyev Praises Ovechkins Performance in Playoff Opener Against Montreal

Hockey expert and agent Aleksey Dementyev shared his thoughts on the performance of Russian captain Alexander Ovechkin from the Washington Capitals, who scored a double in the first NHL playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens (3-2 OT, 1-0).

«Thank goodness he keeps pushing forward and continues to do his job. It’s important to remember that the victory was hard-earned, with a score of 3-2; he had a hand in all the goals. He’s done well to maintain his pace and keep pursuing his goals. There are still certain achievements he aims to conquer,» Dementyev remarked in an interview with Championship correspondent Maxim Makarov.

The second game of the series is set to take place on the night of April 24 in Washington.
