The forward of the Russian youth ice hockey team Matvey Michkov repeated the achievement of the Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin, set in 2003. The correspondent of “Lenta.ru” informs about it.
The 17-year-old Russian, having scored a goal in the World Youth Championship game against Switzerland, brought the number of goals scored in the tournament to three. 18 years ago, Ovechkin also had three goals after two MFM matches. Then the Russians won gold medals.
On November 13, Michkov scored a goal for the main Russian team. The forward, who at that time was 16 years old, updated Ovechkin's record, becoming the youngest author of a goal in the match for the national team.
Michkov plays for SKA. This season, the forward has played 13 matches in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), in which he scored two goals and made three assists.
