Goalkeeper Ilya Sorokin Reflects on Ovechkins Record-Breaking Goal

The goalkeeper of the New York Islanders, Ilya Sorokin, shared his thoughts on the goal scored by Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, which marked a milestone for the forward in NHL history.

— It’s pretty cool to be part of history in such a way.

— Did you see the shot?
— Not really, there were a couple of players screening in front of me. I might have been a bit cautious; he usually shoots to the left, and I might have taken a slightly incorrect position.

— It seemed like he didn’t get a good shot off at all.
— It’s hard to say, you’d have to ask Ovechkin. I didn’t see the shot. No, he didn’t take the right stick; the one I touched the puck with was different. He’ll probably get it back; I promised him I would. I know he collects all those artifacts, if you can call them that, — Sorokin commented during the broadcast of «Slippery Ice.»
