Turkey is one of Alex Ovechkin’s favorite vacation spots, but Russian flights to the country have been suspended until June 21 due to the pandemic.
Ovechkin, along with the families of Russian basketball player Vitaliy Fridzon and Dmitrij Jaskin, found a way around that.
The group got a private jet.
Alex Ovechkin missed the Capitals’ optional practice on Wednesday, marking the sixth straight day he was unable to skate with the team. But that doesn’t mean he didn’t stay active.
Wednesday morning, Nastya Ovechkina posted video of Ovi jumping on the family’s trampoline outside the house. The Great 8 can be seen clutching his youngest son, Ilya, while Sergei gets some serious air.

The Washington Capitals had a bunch of several special guests at Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers – and I’m not talking about Anthony Mantha and Michael Raffl.
Last week, the DC government approved Monumental Sports & Entertainment’s waiver to re-open Capital One Arena for Capitals and Wizards games effective immediately. While fans won’t return to games until the end of the month, Capitals’ wives and girlfriends were in attendance Tuesday. That VIP list included Nastya Ovechkin and her son, Sergei, who rooted Alex Ovechkin on from the club level.
Alex Ovechkin’s wife, Nastya, and their two sons, Sergei and Ilya, returned back home from Russia on Monday.
It didn’t take long for Ovi and Ovi Jr. to get back to their training. Ovechkin posted a video to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, playing hockey with his two-year-old son Sergei, who’s already a hockey prodigy.
It was the first full day Ovi had with his family since they returned.
Nastya Ovechkina took to her Instagram Story on Monday to reveal that she and her two sons, Sergei and Ilya, had returned to the United States.
Nastya took video inside of her home, revealing several gifts Ovi left for the fam.

Sergei Ovechkin (2036 Draft Eligible) is still obsessed with hockey even though his dad and idol, Alex Ovechkin, is 4,857 miles away in Washington DC.
On Tuesday, Ovi Jr took to the ice for extended ice skating and hockey session. Mom, Nastya Ovechkina, documented it all.
Warning: it’s super cute.
Alex Ovechkin’s wife, Nastya, took to Instagram on Thursday to share her thoughts on the Russian Capitals’ placement on the NHL’s COVID-19 unavailability list. Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Orlov, and Samsonov were disciplined and uneligible to play for a while after hanging out together in a hotel room during the Capitals’ most recent road trip. The Capitals were fined $100,000 as a team.
“I regret my choice to spend time together with my teammates in our hotel room and away from the locker room areas,” Ovechkin said in a statement released by the Capitals. “I will learn from this experience.”
Nastya took umbrage with the arbitrary nature of the league’s protocol.

He’s without dad, but Sergei Ovechkin is still managing to have the best second birthday ever.
Nastya Ovechkina, who flew the family to Russia while Ovi is competing in the 2020 playoffs, threw Sergei an extravagant birthday party on Tuesday.
It was like the carnival visited the house just for Ovi Jr.
Alex Ovechkin wished his son Sergei a happy birthday 500 miles away from the Toronto bubble on Tuesday.
“Happy birthday to our life!” Ovechkin wrote on Instagram. “Mom @nastyashubskaya and I love you so much!!!!”
Ovi published the post around 8 AM before the team’s morning skate.
