Alex Ovechkin is spending the first part of his offseason back home in Russia, and while he was there he decided to try out another sport.
On Saturday, Ovechkin signed a one-day contract and suited up for the FC Dynamo Moscow in a friendly vs. FC Amkal. However, while the sport was different, the outcome for Ovechkin was the same.
He scored a goal.
While scoring the goal was the highlight, Ovechkin did more than just that. He also brought his physical style of play from the ice to the grass, checking an opponent to the ground.
