Ovechkin talks at the morning skate in Riga

Ovi:

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are in Riga, at their awesome arena. We flew here today, in the morning, from Moscow; then rested, had meal and getting ready for the game. A lot of guys got injured [Eremenko, Goldenkov, Knyazev, Anisin too] and stayed in Moscow. So we will play with who we have. What can I say about this arena? I am here for the first time in my life. I was in Riga in 2006 or 2005 at the Worlds. We had so-so performance, took 5th place. Right now I am in a good mood, met a lot of people here that I knew before, lots of friends. That's all for now, dear fans and friends. We'll see you next time.

Moscow Dynamo beat Riga 3-1, Ovi and Backstrom didn't record any points.

Corection:
38:25 0-3 #24. Dmitry Pestunov (#32. Alexander Ovechkin). Moscow Dynamo. Even Strength

Dynamo.ru web site didn't show it at first, however KHL.ru gives primary assist to Ovechkin.

Thanks for anonymous comment with correction. Dynamo.ru:

15 minutes before the end of the second period, Alexander Ovechkin, in his one and only style, tried to score going from very blue line through several players and falling just before the opposite goals. However Alexander, when falling down, tried to shoot the puck and this is where Dmitri Pestunov helped him sending the puck in the empty corner.
