Alex Ovechkin Hints at Possible Washington Capitals Farewell: Is the End Near or Just the Beginning?

Alex Ovechkin remains undecided if he’ll be back for a 22nd NHL season with the Washington Capitals, but he sure sounds as if he’s leaning towards returning for at least one more year.

The Capitals captain and NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer met with reporters during Thursday’s locker room clean-out day. Ovechkin reiterated he will consult with his family and team management in his decision-making process.

“To be honest with you, I’m pretty sure it’s not my last game. I hope it’s not my last game, against Columbus,” Ovechkin said. “I have to make a decision to see where we’re at. The team, family.
