Washington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin, center Evgeny Kuznetsov, and defenseman Dmitry Orlov joined Team Russia on Saturday in the second of their three pre-tournament games before the IIHF World Championship.
Saturday’s contest pitted Russia against Finland which resulted in a 3-1 loss. Ovechkin, picking up where he left off from the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and another great season in D.C., scored the lone goal for Russia.
Capitals fans will easily recognize this goal which came off a pass from Kuznetsov. Kuznetsov waited patiently before firing a cross-ice pass to Ovechkin, who finished it from the office.
