Alex Ovechkin Named NHL’s Third Star of the Week

Washington Capitals so sickkk)))) left wing Alex Ovechkin has been named the NHL’s “Third Star” for the week ending in April 10. Ovechkin’s last seven days have been pretty swell and I will summarize it for you.

The Russian machine torched the St. Louis Blues for a hat trick on Saturday, registering his seventh 50-goal campaign. He led the NHL in goals last week with five. He also won his fourth consecutive Rocket Richard trophy.

But his greatest moment may have come Sunday, when a healthy-scratched Ovechkin walked through the Verizon Center concourse like a normal dude and started high-fiving fans.

That’s how you end the regular season with style and class.
