Capitals say ‘no decision' on Alex Ovechkin's future after 2025-26
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has not made a decision on his NHL future beyond the upcoming 2025-26 NHL season, the team said in a statement Thursday, which came after an email suggested next season would be Ovechkin's last.
The email, which was first reported by the Hockey News, included a sentence that read 'OCTOBER — the start of Capitals hockey and Alex Ovechkin's FINAL NHL SEASON.' Next season is the final year of Ovechkin's contract, a five-year deal worth $9.5 million per season that he signed in 2021.
