Nastya Ovechkina, wife of Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, shared her culinary contributions in an interview, mentioning how her borscht helped lead to a remarkable 8-1 victory for the team. During the 2020-21 NHL season, her cooking inspired a high-scoring game against the Bruins, amusingly linking the win to her soup preparation. Ovechkina detailed the effort needed to create large portions for the entire team, while also noting the irony that her husband, the league’s top scorer, did not contribute a goal in that game. Borscht is emblematic of their culture, being a widely loved soup in the region.
Ovechkina expressed that sometimes her husband asks her to prepare borscht for the entire team, which led to an impressive 8-1 win.
The Capitals scored six consecutive goals in a game Ovechkina recalls, humorously attributing their victory to her cooking.
Despite the team’s remarkable score, Alex Ovechkin, the leading NHL goal scorer, ironically didn’t score any of the goals during that match.
Borscht, a traditional Russian soup that takes a long time to prepare, required Ovechkina to cook in larger volumes for the Capitals.
