Ivan Demidov, the 19-year-old forward for the Montreal Canadiens, is set to face off against the legendary Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals in the playoffs. Demidov, drafted fifth overall, has already made waves with his play, including a record-setting KHL season and a strong NHL debut. Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis expresses excitement about using Demidov's talent effectively, especially on the power play, which has struggled recently. While Demidov looks forward to competing against his idol, he remains focused on helping his team secure a victory.
