Nicknamed The Artist, Alex Kovalev scored his milestone goals in style. This cool collection of Kovalev’s Ottawa Senators game-used items includes Kovy’s photo-matched 2009-10 “400th goal” game-worn skates and gloves, and his 2010-11 game-used stick. Alex was wearing these gloves and skates when he scored a hat trick, including his 400th goal, against Carolina on Dec. 12, 2009. The following season, Alex broke his stick on the goal he scored to reach 1,000 points against Los Angeles on Nov. 22, 2010. His Warrior AK Twenty Seven game-used two-piece stick had its tape job removed to have a “Game vs LAK 22/11/10 reaching 1000 points” annotation across the now-bare blade insert.
Kovalev has signed the outside white panel of each of his Reebok skates in bold black marker. The "400 goals 1200 games" annotation appears in black mark on the inside white panel of each skate. Stickers with “Kovalev Alexee P08590-008 11…C/A” printed on them are affixed to the undersole of each skate boot. His “400th Goal” skates are photo-matched by the black mark on the outside of the right skate in the mesh on the lower middle side of skate to Getty Images #94361549, which is his 400th goal locker room photo taken on December 12, 2009, as well as to the worn-off leather spot on the outer side of the left skate below the Rbk logo. That mark is also photo-matched to Getty Images #94172511 taken on December 1, 2009. The vertical black mark in the mesh portion of the outside edge of the right skate, towards the middle, is photo-matched to Getty Images #94508479 taken on December 14, 2009.
Alex’s “400th Goal” game-worn gloves have "Commander" and "Kovalev" embroidered on the right and left cuffs, respectively. Kovalev’s photo-matched gloves are wrapped together with hockey tape which has a "1200 career games 400 goals" annotation handwritten in black marker. The long cut in the “RR” of “Warrior” on the right glove offers the photo match to Getty Images #94361822 of Kovalev celebrating his 400th goal on December 12, 2009.
Kovalev’s Warrior game-used stick with with “Kov 17 173” code stamped on the back of the blade insert exhibits nice game wear.
