ALEXANDER Ovechkin broke the NHL’s record for most goals of all-time, but his wife received plenty of attention herself.
Ovechkin’s stunning wife, Nastya, watched the 39-year-old score his 895th goal during the Washington Capitals’ loss against the New York Islanders on Sunday.
Ovechkin’s goal during the second period helped him receive the long-time record that was previously held by hockey icon Wayne Gretzky.
After Ovechkin made history at UBS Arena on Long Island, the TNT cameras spotted his wife in the crowd.
The 31-year-old model Nastya, who rocked a red jacket, turned heads on social media.
“Can we talk about Ovechkin’s wife. Thats the real record,” one wrote.
“Ovechkin’s wife is fine,” a second commented.
“Ovechkin is winning off the ice too. His wife is gorgeous,” a third added.
Nastya, whose full name is Anastasia Shubskaya, watched the game from a suite with the couple’s two children, Sergie and Ilya, and Alexander’s mom, Tatyana.
The two boys wore personalized “Ovi Jr.” jerseys as they and Nastya joined Alexander on the ice after his historic goal.
The game stopped after Ovechkin’s goal as Gretzky said a few words about the left winger’s accomplishment.
“We’re here to celebrate this guy here, No. 8,” Gretzky said about Ovechkin’s record-breaking goal during an on-ice ceremony.
“They say records are made to be broken, but I’m not sure who’s gonna get more goals than that.”
Nastya married Ovechkin in 2016 and has traveled to every Capitals game this month as her significant other looked to make NHL history.
Ovechkin has been with the Caps since entering the NHL in 2004 as the number 1 overall pick.
He helped the Capitals win the Stanley Cup for the first time in 2018.
Gretzky, who’s considered the greatest ice hockey player of all time, had held the record since 1994.
