Three-time world champion Alexei Tereschenko told us which "Washington" players have become leaders in the absence of injured captain Alexander Ovechkin. The Russian is close to returning to the ice and will participate in games after the Christmas break. “Washington” in 16 meetings without Ovechkin suffered only six defeats.

“I expected more from Vanya Miroshnichenko. Alexei Protas is playing great. The same Wilson, McMichael are playing great. Sasha is a big part of “Washington.” All the guys understand, they say it, he's always in the locker room, we're waiting for his return,” Tereshchenko said.
