Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov will be heading home to Russia during the team’s break next week to bring his twin sons back home to Montreal following the death of their mother. The Journal de Montréal revealed the heartbreaking story on Thursday morning after Markov opened up about the death of his former partner, Natalia Streckova. The five-year-old boys — Andrei and Mark — were born in Montreal but have lived in Russia for a number of years with their mother. And as you know, few survive,” Markov told the Journal’s Jonathan Bernier. “She told her not to worry, that she would support us, the twins and I,” Markov said.
