Alex Ovechkin scored a goal in a dominant 15-3 win over KHL stars and addressed his future at a press conference afterward. Rumors circulated about his retirement after a misleading email claimed the 2025-26 season would be his last. His wife mentioned a return to Moscow after his contract ends next July. However, Ovechkin clarified that anything is possible regarding his NHL future, suggesting he might play another season. Capitals management remains optimistic about his continued contribution to the team.
Alexander still has a contract for a year. So we will play the next season, and then fly back to live in Moscow, to our homeland.
My wife never confirmed anything. She said we might play in Russia - anything is possible. No date was mentioned. This is nonsense that you guys start twisting around.
Capitals president of hockey operations, Brian MacLellan, left the door open on Ovechkin playing past next year while GM Chris Patrick believes with the right usage, the Capitals captain can continue being a positive contributor.
