Ovechkin Returns for 22nd Season | NHL News

Alex Ovechkin is back for his 22nd NHL season, signing a one-year, $1M deal with the Washington Capitals — a move fueled by his relentless desire to compete, chase the Stanley Cup, and break more records. At 41, he’s still scoring at elite levels, leading the team with 32 goals last season and extending his all-time scoring record to 929. His sons encouraged him to keep playing, and with new additions like Kyrou and Tuch, the Capitals are poised for a playoff push. Ovechkin’s legacy — most power-play goals, most 30-goal seasons, and the only player to score 30+ goals at age 40+ — remains unmatched, and his return is a statement: he’s not done yet.
