An agent representing a spate of Russian-born NHL players is seeking heightened security for his clients.
Per TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger, agent Dan Milstein has called upon the NHL Players' Association and all NHL clubs with Russian-born players to provide additional security for those players in North America.
Milstein cites "real threats" that have been made — both in-person and on social media — to his Russian-based clients amidst the international crisis developing in Eastern Europe, fueled by the Russian military's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now reached day five.
The Washington Capitals have four Russian-born players (Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, Ilya Samsonov), though none of them are represented by Milstein.
