Alex Ovechkin's wife gives everyone intimate details of what it's like to live with an NHL superstar

Have you always wondered what it would be like to live with an NHL superstar? Fear no more, as Alex Ovechkin's wife Anastasia is here to provide all the details.

The Washington Capitals made the surprisingly bold move early in the 2024-25 season of moving their long-time captain, Alex Ovechkin, to the right wing. This shift came despite Ovechkin having played left wing his whole storied career. On his debut on the right side, Ovechkin turned in a multi-point effort, though he admittedly was out of place at times. The Capitals seem all-in on this experiment, with Ovechkin continuing to work his way into the new position.

The Capitals followed that up with another 'W' in their next game, this time a 3-2 beating of the Dallas Stars. Ovechkin failed to record a point in the rare quiet night for the normally prolific scorer. Adjustments on the ice seem to continue with the team accepting this new strategy. With respect to how the position change could affect his performance, early signs look good for Washington.

Off the ice, it appears that Ovechkin's wife, Anastasia Shubskaya, is forging her own path. Recently she poked fun at one hilariously awkward moment on his Instagram Stories that gave an idea of what it's like to go on dates with one of the NHL's biggest stars. In a clip, the two are shown dining in a fancy restaurant where one fan in an Ovechkin jersey is standing suspiciously close. Her caption on the video is light-hearted but hints at one of many challenges: privacy when you are married to a superstar.

Anastasia and Ovechkin married in 2016 and share two sons, Sergei and Ilya. Anastasia has proven to be one of the most supportive hockey wives in the league; even at clearly personal moments, a little fan attention in return is something. Evidently, the couple handles the spotlight with ease, and their public interactions reflect that with their strong bond and sense of humor.

As Alex Ovechkin navigates this next chapter of his hockey career, Anastasia remains one of the wells he draws strength from. All in all, the couple is resilient on and off the ice, as they successfully handle most pressures associated with both fame and family life with so much poise. As he tries to find a rhythm in this position, Ovechkin will most definitely get support from his wife and family.
