Last day, seven matches were played in the NHL. Russian legionnaires distinguished themselves in five of them. In the confrontation with the Rangers, Russian Enver Lisin from Phoenix opened the scoring. And this puck became his second goal this season. However, the main hero of the duel was Nikolai Zherdev, who defended the Rangers colors. He made three assists and now has 201 career NHL regular-season points.
Phoenix coach, the legendary Wayne Gretzky, commented on the situation in the team: “The match turned out to be difficult for our young guys. I see that they are all a little upset. While we can’t score goals, we can’t find the right way.”
In the confrontation between Detroit and Vancouver, Pavel Datsyuk managed to bring the “red wings” forward. However, the opponents soon equalized the score, and the fate of the match was decided in extra time, where the Canadians were luckier.
In the duel between Washington and Minnesota, Alexander Ovechkin scored one goal. But this did not help his teammates finish the game on a positive note. The Washingtonians were defeated, although by the end of the game they were able to win back three goals and almost sent the match into overtime.

Sharapova is the richest Russian athlete
Tennis player Maria Sharapova topped the ranking of Russia's richest athletes for the second year in a row. According to Finance magazine, she increased her capital by half a million dollars compared to 2007. Thus, Sharapova’s fortune has reached 25.5 million. Most of the athlete’s income is not prize money from tournaments, but proceeds from advertising contracts.
The second line of the rating, as last year, is occupied by Utah Jazz basketball player Andrei Kirilenko. He is the highest paid Russian athlete, if only income from a sports contract is taken into account.
Abramova's suspension was lifted early
Yesterday, by decision of the Russian Skating Union (SKR), the one-year disqualification from the 2006 Olympics medalist Ekaterina Abramova was lifted ahead of schedule. The reason for the punishment was a fight in the locker room between Abramova and Lobysheva, as well as Abramova’s subsequent refusal to participate in the team race at the World Cup stage. The St. Petersburg Skating Federation and the city’s sports committee petitioned for the athlete’s early “pardon.” As a result, by decision of the Investigative Committee, Abramova will be able to go on the ice three months earlier than her sentence. According to the head of the Investigative Committee, Vladimir Komarov, the athlete fully admitted her guilt. All this time she continued training. The national team needs Abramova because, as it turns out, there is no one to replace her.
