Alexander Michailowitsch Owetschkin Zitate

Alexander Michailowitsch Owetschkin ist ein russischer Eishockeyspieler. Der linke Flügelstürmer spielt seit 2005 für die Washington Capitals in der National Hockey League, die ihn im NHL Entry Draft 2004 an erster Gesamtposition ausgewählt hatten. Mit den Capitals gewann er in den Playoffs 2018 den Stanley Cup und wurde dabei mit der Conn Smythe Trophy als wertvollster Spieler ausgezeichnet. Er gilt als einer der besten Eishockeyspieler seiner Generation, insbesondere im Hinblick auf seine Fähigkeiten als Torjäger, so gewann er bisher sieben Mal die Maurice Richard Trophy als bester Torschütze der NHL. Ferner wurde der Russe je drei Mal mit der Hart Memorial Trophy und dem Lester B. Pearson/Ted Lindsay Award als wertvollster Spieler der Liga ausgezeichnet, während er die NHL im Jahre 2008 in Scorerpunkten anführte und daher die Art Ross Trophy erhielt. Bei den Washington Capitals, die er seit 2010 als Kapitän anführt, hält er darüber hinaus zahlreiche Rekorde, unter anderem für die meisten Spiele, Tore und Scorerpunkte.

Auf internationaler Ebene wurde Owetschkin mit der russischen Nationalmannschaft drei Mal Weltmeister, verpasste bei Olympischen Winterspielen allerdings bisher jeweils die Medaillenränge mit der Sbornaja.
