Alex Ovechkin’s Son Steals the Show Scoring Four Goals in NHL-Heavy All-Star Game

Young Ovechkin Steals the Show

Six-year-old Sergei Ovechkin, son of NHL superstar Alex Ovechkin, scored four goals in a star-studded all-star game at Mytishchi Arena in Moscow. The younger Ovechkin's impressive performance overshadowed even his father's single goal as Team Ovechkin defeated Pavel Datsyuk’s squad 11–7.

Goals Galore for Sergei

Sergei found the back of the net twice in the first period, assisted by teammates including Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov. His father, watching from the bench, couldn't help but beam with pride as his son continued to rack up goals throughout the match.

“Of course, I am happy for my son,” Alex Ovechkin told Match TV. “I see his progress, as well as Ilya’s. We will do everything so that Sergei continues in the same spirit. Many thanks to the participants. They came at the first call. This is a holiday for children. Next year will be much better.”

A Family Affair

Sergei's performance wasn't just witnessed by his father; his mother, Nastya Shubskaya, and grandmother, Tatyana Ovechkina, were also in attendance, cheering him on from the stands. Sergei’s impressive display was captured on social media, with fans praising his skills and noting the family's clear love for hockey.

A Star-Studded Lineup

The Ovi Cup matchup featured a mix of current and former NHL talent, including Philadelphia Flyers forward Matvei Michkov, who scored twice for Team Ovechkin, alongside Kaprizov's one goal. Team Datsyuk saw Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin score a hat trick. Other notable participants included Vyacheslav Fetisov, Valeri Kamensky, Mikhail Sergachev, Dmitry Orlov, Kirill Marchenko and Egor Zamula.

Future of the Ovechkin Dynasty?

While Sergei’s performance was undoubtedly impressive, his father joked that they had another Ovi to contend with. "We needed to defend another Ovi, but it didn't work out," Pavel Datsyuk said after the game.

Alex Ovechkin revealed last December that his two sons have contrasting hockey ambitions: one wants to be a forward like his dad, while the other aspires to be a goalie. Perhaps we’ll see both sides of this rivalry unfold on the ice in the years to come.
