"Sunday, Match TV reported that Ovechkin will fly back to Washington on September 5. "Why is Ovechkin flying to America on September 5? Because he wants to start preparing for the NHL season early," an unnamed source told the outlet, as translated by Google Translate. Previously, Ovechkin was reported to be leaving in "early September." Ovechkin's last major outing in Russia was Pavel Datsyuk's farewell "Magic Game," where the Capitals' captain record a hat trick and tallied five points."
"While the start of Capitals' training camp is still weeks away, Caps players such as Dylan Strome, John Carlson, Matt Roy, and Logan Thompson have already returned to the area for informal skates at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. The team's first preseason game is scheduled for September 21. Ovechkin, who will turn 40 on September 17, has one year remaining on his contract with the Capitals, though his plans beyond this season are not yet known. Ovi sits three goals away from 900 in his career."
