Alex Ovechkin is engaged to her


The Washington Capitals hockey team may not know how to get to a Stanley Cup final, but they are definitely doing very well in the WAG (wives and girlfriends) category.

We all should know by now that Brooks Laich of the Capitals is engaged to the fabulously talented, fabulously gorgeous Julianne Hough.  And defenseman John Carlson just had a child with this lovely lass, Gina, shown on her wedding day in her wedding dress.  Defenseman Dmitry Orlov may have been out last year recovering from a broken wrist, but hopefully he hasn't broken up with his Russian girlfriend, Varvara Amosova.

Superstar Alex Ovechkin had been engaged to a near-superstar, tennis pro Maria Kirilenko (hot enough to be in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue athlete section), but they broke up and she rather quickly got engaged, married, and pregnant.  She seems just fine.

Alex didn't seem to mourn that lost relationship for long.  He found a Russian model girlfriend, and they just announced their engagement.

Her name is Nastya Shubskaya.

She's spectacular.  She might not have the Hollywood and Broadway incandescence of Julianne Hough, but she's got plenty of Russian model hotness to go around.

(I think she always tilts her head in the same direction in photographs.)
