The fight didn’t sit well with Svechnikov’s older brother, who took to Instagram on Monday night to post, “One, two Freddy’s coming for you,” tagging Ovechkin’s official account.
The line is a nod to the “Nightmare on Elm Street” movie franchise, in which Freddy Krueger haunts the dreams of teens.
This is not the best look for Evgeny Svechnikov and wasn’t a very smart move on his part. It’s a safe guess he was pretty upset watching his brother get knocked out cold by Alex Ovechkin and acted in the heat of the moment.
