Washington's new coach refuses to have dinner with Ovechkin

The new head coach of the National Hockey League (NHL) Washington Capitals, Peter Laviolette, refused to have dinner with the team's striker Alexander Ovechkin. His words are quoted by NBC4 Washington.

Laviolette said that the hockey player invited him to dinner, but the coach could not do this, as he is in quarantine due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We don't know each other well, so it would be a great opportunity to get to know each other, but it didn't happen,” he stressed.
