"Ovechkin spent about 15 minutes on the ice, doing several drills and chatting with Dylan Strome and Tom Wilson, before quickly sliding off the ice and down the tunnel."
"If the contest is truly Ovechkin's last, he would be wrapping up his career against the same team he made his NHL debut against back on October 5, 2005."
"Ovechkin, 40, is the Capitals' leading scorer heading into their final outing of the year with 63 points (32g, 31a) in 81 games."
Alex Ovechkin participated in an optional practice at Nationwide Arena ahead of a game that could be his last in the NHL. The Washington Capitals captain practiced with most of the team after their playoff elimination. Ovechkin is set to play against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team he debuted against in 2005. This game marks his 82nd of the season, his first full season since 2017-18. Capitals fans are expected to attend in large numbers, creating an unofficial home game atmosphere.
