Alex Ovechkin put a different part of his game on display in Carolina on Monday night as the eight-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner let his fists do the talking in a bout with Hurricanes 19-year-old rookie Andrei Svechnikov.

The fight didn’t last very long as Ovi ended up knocking out Svechnikov a few punches into the tilt and it forced the youngster to miss the remainder of the game. Shortly after the fight took place, Andrei’s brother, Evgeny, posted a special message for the Capitals’ captain in his Instagram story.

Evgeny’s message was a short and cryptic one as he posted the first line from the famous creepy song from A Nightmare on Elm Street.



We can’t say we know what Evgeny was getting at with this message, but it sounds like he’s telling Ovechkin to sleep with one eye open…
