Alex Ovechkin will not give exclusive interviews to Russian media this summer following NHL orders amid preparations for a film about him. Exceptions are made for sponsors and press conferences. His achievement of surpassing Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record is anticipated to be a focal point of the film. Typically, Ovechkin participates in interviews with Russian reporters each offseason. He has returned to Russia after vacation and will attend the "Match of the Year" event with other Russian NHL stars before training camp in September.
According to a report from Match TV, the legendary winger has been "banned" from exclusive interviews in his homeland during the 2025 offseason on orders of the NHL.
Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record with his 895th career goal on April 6 against the New York Islanders, which is likely to be the central focus of the film.
