Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Ovechkin might be some of the biggest Russian names in hockey today, and they might be leading their respective teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs right now, but those aren't the only things they have in common.

Both players will also be in Kansas City on Oct. 5, when preseason hockey returns to Sprint Center as the St. Louis Blues and Washington Capitals are set to face off.
