ALEX OVECHKIN is NHL royalty on the ice - and has his own 'Snow Queen' back at home.
The Washington Capitals star, 37, is married to stunning model Anastasia Shubskaya, also known as Nastasiya.
Ovechkin is widely regarded as one of the greatest ice hockey goal-scorers in history.
The Russian star is second only to Wayne Gretzky for all-time goal-scoring and has a host of NHL records under his belt.
He was engaged to tennis player Maria Kirilenko before their relationship broke down in July 2014.
Ovechkin initially met his future wife Nastasiya at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

But after losing touch for almost five years, they reconnected again following the hockey star's split with Kirilenko.
The stunning model was born in Switzerland on November 16, 1993, but grew up in Russia.
Nastasiya is the daughter of Kirill Shubsky and Vera Glagoleva, both of Russian descent.
Her father is a businessman while her mother - who died of cancer in 2017 - was a successful actress, producer, and film director.

Nastasiya, 29, currently works as a model and film producer.
She boasts over 500k followers on Instagram and often posts family snaps of her day-to-day as an ice-hockey wife.
The power couple were engaged after just over a year of dating in 2015, before exchanging vows in a private ceremony in August 2016.
They wed in the lavish Fourth Wedding Palace at Butyrskaya in Moscow.
Two years later, the loved-up couple welcomed their first child Sergei before Ilya joined the family in May 2020.
Nastasiya is often spotted supporting her husband at hockey games and keeps her huge fanbase updated on their life in the US capital.
She recently shared snaps from a family holiday where she was spoilt for her 29th birthday.
Posing in front of a huge skyscraper, Nastasiya wrote: "Carrying on my Birthday celebration."
One fan replied: "May success always and in everything favor you! You deserve nothing but the best."
While another gushed: "The most gorgeous girl."
And another added: "Our snow queen."
