Alex Ovechkin, left winger for the Washington Capitals, and his beautiful face will be gracing the cover of this years NHL 2K10. According to the Capitals website, a "fists clenched and mouth agape" Ovechkin image has been picked for the game's cover, the third hockey game to use his image on the box.
Additionally, Ovechkin is participating in 2K's first ever "public outdoor hockey motion capture session" next week in Las Vegas, taking time out of his trip to Nevada for the NHL Awards Show. Rather than employing ice, however, the session is said to be using a plastic sheet, hopes, and dreams. Unfortunately, this ain't the hockey game with first-person fighting mechanics, so those of you looking to knock some teeth out of Ovechkin's head all up close and personal-like may find yourselves wanting for more.

Ovechkin
Alex Ovechkin – with fists clenched and mouth agape in a celebratory scream – will grace the cover of 2K Sports’ NHL2K10 video game. The image captures Ovechkin in the Capitals’ road white uniforms moments after one of his league-leading 56 goals in 2008-09.
Ovechkin is a video game buff who has appeared on the cover of two hockey games before. Reached in Russia on Friday by phone, he was excited about the cover image and looking forward to next week’s trip to Las Vegas for the NHL Awards Show.
Ovechkin, who is nominated for the Hart Trophy and the Lester B. Pearson Award, will make his first appearance of the week in Las Vegas at a 2K Sports event.
Ovechkin will be participating in the company’s first public outdoor hockey motion capture session Tuesday night at Caesars Palace from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. PT. Joining Ovechkin on the “ice” – a synthetic plastic sheet – will be Vancouver Canucks center and 2009 Selke Trophy finalist, Ryan Kesler, along with play-by-play commentator for the San Jose Sharks, Randy Hahn.
