In a recent interview to discuss the exploits of his teammate Alex Ovechkin, Capitals forward Lars Eller made an unusual revelation.

What is Ovechkin's magic recipe for scoring goals so easily, even at the age of 36? Obviously, there isn't one. It's pure talent.
However, for the past several years, "Ovi" has been eating the same pre-game meal, and it's not your traditional spaghetti, let alone Sidney Crosby's peanut butter and jelly "toast".

Lars Eller did say that "Ovi always eats his giant Italian twelve-inch sub with double cheese and extra mayo.
Let's just say that Ovechkin has a very different eating plan than Nathan MacKinnon.
