"Ovechkin is signed through the 2025-26 season with a $9.5 million cap hit."
"Carbery had high praise for the way Ovechkin rebounded from his playoff performance against the New York Rangers last season."
"Yeah, it's tough, obviously. We have a special group, but obviously we have our chances and we don't execute."
"I thought 'O' was great in playoffs. I know this series, the stats won't be flattering."
Washington Capitals coach Spencer Carbery anticipates captain Alex Ovechkin will return for the 2025-26 season despite the team's recent playoff elimination. Ovechkin, who scored 44 goals during the regular season, faced criticism for a subdued postseason, tallying only once in five games against the Carolina Hurricanes. Carbery, however, praised Ovechkin's leadership and his positive impact on the team. Following a strong regular season, the Capitals were ousted early in the playoffs, and Ovechkin expressed disappointment but remained optimistic about the team's potential moving forward.
