T.J. Oshie announces retirement after 16 NHL seasons
T.J. Oshie, a foundational player for the Washington Capitals during their Stanley Cup run in 2018 and the years that surrounded it, announced his retirement on Monday after 16 NHL seasons. Oshie was traded to Washington in the summer of 2015 after seven seasons with the St. Louis Blues, who drafted him at No. 24 in 2005. He was a productive player with St. Louis, putting up 110 goals and 200 assists in 443 games and also scoring a memorable shootout goal at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. With Washington, though, he established himself as a clutch playoff performer and a core piece for one of the league's best teams. Advertisement In 2015-16, Oshie's first with the Capitals, they won the Presidents' Trophy, and he followed that with 10 points in 12 postseason games. In 2017, he had 12 points in 13 playoff games. By 2018, he was the fourth-leading scorer (eight goals, 13 assists) on a team that beat Columbus, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Vegas on its way to the first Stanley Cup victory in franchise history. In a five-game Final against Vegas, Oshie had one goal and six assists. That run, combined with the idea to celebrate the Cup by jumping into fountains at the Georgetown waterfront, helped make Oshie a franchise icon. He fittingly made his announcement on Monday near those fountains. Oshie, 38, missed the 2024-25 season with recurring back issues that cost him 92 games over his final three seasons. 'We were waiting to get some beverages over there. I don't know how hot it was, but it felt like it was scorching outside,' Oshie said in February 2025, when a plaque commemorating the swim was unveiled. 'I had just a little idea to jump in the fountain and tried to grab all the guys I could. I thought it was a couple feet deep, because you can't tell when you're running up to it. It was only a couple inches.' Outside of Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson, not many Capitals played a bigger role in winning the Cup. Oshie, along with Backstrom, also was in the building when Ovechkin set the NHL's career goal record on April 6 — and Ovechkin made sure to note that on the ice after scoring for the 895th time 'For him to call my name in that moment was incredibly, incredibly special and honestly very emotional for me inside, to have him mention me and give me a little shoutout during the biggest accomplishment that the world of hockey has seen in a very long time,' Oshie said in the New York Islanders' visitors' locker room after the game. Advertisement During his six-season prime with the Capitals (2015-21), he had 150 goals and 150 assists, scoring 22 goals or more five times. The eight-year, $5.75 million AAV deal he signed for the 2017-18 season expired this season. Work as a TV analyst seems like Oshie's next logical step. He made an appearance as part of ESPN's studio crew during the Western Conference final and acquitted himself well.

Top NHL draft prospects have breakfast with Marchand, meet McDavid at the Stanley Cup Final
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Visiting the Stanley Cup Final weeks before hearing their names called early in the NHL draft, top prospects Matthew Schaefer, Michael Misa, James Hagens and Jake O'Brien got a surprise at the Panthers' practice facility on Monday. Brad Marchand pulled up a chair and joined them for breakfast. The 37-year-old veteran shared some laughs and chatted with them hours before he and the Florida Panthers face the Edmonton Oilers in Game 3. 'You think you're just going to say hi, and then you're sitting at a table with Marchand and he's talking to you,' Schaefer said. 'We were talking about the draft and the (scouting) combine, and he was like, 'I didn't get to go there.' And he's laughing, and I'm like, 'Well, look where you are now: You're in the Stanley Cup Final.'" Schaefer, Misa, Hagens and O'Brien also met Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and took in the Oilers' morning skate. Schaefer first met McDavid in January when the three-time MVP returned to Erie, where his No. 97 was retired by the Otters of the Ontario Hockey League. This interaction — in the arena where McDavid was drafted first a decade ago — went a little smoother. 'I didn't think I was going to have to talk at his jersey retirement, and then I ended up talking to him,' Schaefer recalled. 'I ran out of things to say, and I ended up looking at McDavid and go, 'I'm proud of you.' Nobody would say that." Schaefer is NHL Central Registry's top-ranked prospect, though there is still considerable debate as to whom among Schaefer, Misa and Hagens the New York Islanders will select with the first pick after winning the draft lottery. Hagens grew up on Long Island cheering for them and went to games at Nassau Coliseum. Recently, he saw a bumper sticker that read, 'Bring Hagens home,' but he's also a realist about the possibility of his hometown team not selecting him. 'I just want to be (with) a team that wants me the most — I want to play for any of these teams,' Hagens said. 'It's just a competitive nature that you want to be the first person off the board. It's exciting, so I can't wait.' RNH a game-time call Edmonton's longest-tenured player, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, missed practice Sunday, skated some on Monday and is considered a game-time decision, coach Kris Knoblauch said. It is not clear what is ailing Nugent-Hopkins, though he is expected to take part in pregame warmups. Jeff Skinner, who played an NHL-record 1,078 regular-season games before finally making his playoff debut earlier this spring, is on standby if Nugent-Hopkins cannot go. Skinner has been a healthy scratch for all but two of the Oilers' 18 games this postseason. 'It's just part of being a team,' Skinner said. 'You've got to have guys who are ready to step in when there's an opportunity.' 'Trading' Barkov Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov did not register a point in either of the first two games of the final and has a minus-4 rating. Leave it to coach Paul Maurice, ever the jokester, to cut the tension. 'We're trading him.' Maurice quipped. "No, I'm not (worried) at all. There's action at both ends of the ice all the time. I don't think this is a statistical series because it's not relatable to series that you played in the past. Shot attempts, the sheer volume of quality offense driven by both teams and at the same time, both teams are defending very well. He got a minus on the 4 on 4 with a heck of a shot block, but it's in the back of the net.' ___
