This is the sixth ESPY nomination of Ovechkin’s career, as the three-time NHL MVP hopes to win for the first time at The 2010 ESPYs when the show is televised live Wednesday, July 14, at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN/ESPN HD.

Other nominees for the Best NHL Player award are Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby, Buffalo’s Ryan Miller, Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin and Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos.
