Capitals Confirm No Decision on Ovechkin Future After 2025-26 Season
The Washington Capitals have clarified that no decision has been made regarding Alex Ovechkin's future beyond the 2025-26 NHL season, following an email mistakenly sent to season-ticket holders that suggested next season would be his last. Ovechkin, who recently broke Wayne Gretzky's all-time NHL goal-scoring record with 897 goals, is currently in the final year of his contract and plans to play next season, which would be his 21st. The Capitals acknowledged the email was sent in error by someone in their corporate sales department and emphasized that Ovechkin himself has not confirmed retirement plans. Despite speculation, Ovechkin remains focused on preparing for the upcoming season, expressing a desire to continue playing as long as he can contribute effectively. The veteran captain, 39 years old and coming off a strong season where he scored 44 goals despite injuries, has suggested he might play beyond the current contract but has yet to make a definitive decision. Fans and the team await further developments as Ovechkin's career continues to unfold.
