Alex Ovechkin shatters glass with head in KHL game
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA TODAY Sports
The NHL lockout won't keep Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin from slamming into boards, but shattering glass might be somewhat of a deterrent.
Ovechkin set his sights on Alexei Mikhnov, a forward with the Atlant Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League, on Saturday but doled out most of his punishment to a glass pane.
It almost looks like a poorly executed movie stunt; Ovechkin makes it appear as though he's crashing through sugar glass.
That gash on his left hand is very real, though. At least Ovechkin treats his injury with the same nonchalance he displays after realizing he has destroyed the glass with his noggin.
