Alex Ovechkin Scores 1,000th Career Goal

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin netted his 1,000th career goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime defeat against the Colorado Avalanche. He found the back of the net late in the third period on the power play, joining Wayne Gretzky as the only players to reach 1,000 goals across the regular season and the playoffs. Ovechkin broke Gretzky's regular-season goals record last term but sits 12th all-time with 77 playoff goals, with Gretzky holding the postseason record with 122 markers. Overall, Gretzky scored 1,016 career goals. With a strong finish to the regular season and a deep playoff run, Ovechkin could catch him this year. The Capitals captain has lit the lamp 26 times this season, adding 27 assists in 71 games. However, he has struggled since the Olympic break in the middle of the season, notching only five points (four goals, one assist) in 12 outings.

Alex Ovechkin Records Power-Play Assist

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin finished Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers with a power-play assist. He set up Ryan Leonard for a goal midway through the first period to give Washington the lead, but the team's offense was flat for the rest of the contest. Before Wednesday night, Ovechkin went scoreless for three games, and he's had a tough time making an impact since the Olympic break finished. Over the past seven games, Ovechkin has tallied just two goals and one assist. Nonetheless, at 40 years old, the veteran star has maintained a solid level of performance in 2025-26. With 66 games played, Ovechkin has contributed 24 goals and 27 assists.

Alex Ovechkin Nets 33rd Career Hat Trick

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin scored his 33rd career hat trick and registered an assist in Thursday's 8-4 road victory over the Montreal Canadiens. He netted an early power-play goal and had two goals inside the final minutes of play, including one in an empty-net situation. With a four-point performance on Thursday, Ovechkin entered the NHL's all-time top 10 scoring list, surpassing Joe Sakic. The Capitals captain boasts 1,643 points (907 goals, 736 assists) in 1,512 career games. Ovechkin had a slow start to the season but is now firing on all cylinders. The veteran star has lit the lamp in four straight games, increasing his scoring total to 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) over 21 games played.

Alex Ovechkin Scores 900th Career Goal

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin netted his 900th career regular-season goal in Wednesday's 6-1 thumping of the St. Louis Blues. Ovechkin's special strike early in the second period ended up as the game-winning goal. The NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer now boasts 138 game-winners in total. 326 of Ovechkin's goals have come on the power play, and he has tallied five short-handed markers. His goal on Wednesday ended a four-game point drought for Ovechkin. He's been limited to three goals and eight points in 13 games this season. Although Ovechkin's production has decreased from his usual levels, it's important to remember that he turned 40 in September. Plus, it's still fairly early in the season, so there's time for Ovechkin to boost his output.

Alex Ovechkin Expected to Suit up Thursday

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) is expected to play in Thursday's preseason contest against the Boston Bruins, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports. The Capitals have included Ovechkin in the roster for the game. This is great news from a fantasy perspective, considering Ovechkin has been dealing with a lower-body injury during training camp, leaving his status for opening night uncertain. Assuming he comes through the action unscathed, Ovechkin should be ready for the first game of the season next week, and he might even see some additional time on the ice during Washington's final preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets this weekend.

Alex Ovechkin Logs Full Practice Monday

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) took part in a full-contact practice on Monday. This was his first full practice since training camp began, as Ovechkin has been dealing with a lingering lower-body injury. "Obviously, it was kind of like day to day, but we don't want to push it because it's training camp and we still have time to get ready for regular year," Ovechkin said. "So, I'll be ready and hope my body is going to feel good." Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said it's unlikely Ovechkin will play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, it's a possibility that he will feature in the team's final two preseason outings this week. The injury was a setback for Ovechkin, but all indications suggest he will be ready for opening night.

Alex Ovechkin Evaluated for Lower-Body Injury

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) left Thursday's practice session early. The Capitals were on the ice for the first day of training camp, but Ovechkin departed after just a few minutes of practice due to a lower-body injury. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said that Ovechkin's absence was merely "precautionary" and indicated that he is considered "day-to-day." Ovechkin, who celebrated his 40th birthday on Wednesday, is preparing for his 21st NHL season. Carbery believes that Ovechkin will be "hungry as ever" to score goals and perform well. Last season, the Capitals' captain averaged over a point per game, tallying 44 goals and 29 assists in 65 games.

Alex Ovechkin Not Thinking About Retirement

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin has denied rumors that 2025-26 will be his final season in the NHL. Ovechkin is about to begin the final year of his current contract, and it has been rumored that the 2025-26 season will be his last in the NHL after the Capitals' marketing team sent out an email in late May referring to next season as Ovechkin's last. However, when speaking to Sport-Express in Russia, the Capitals captain said, "Anything can happen" when asked if he would continue playing in the NHL after next year. Ovechkin will turn 40 before next season starts, but if 2024-25 is any indication, fantasy managers should still hold him in high regard.

Capitals Expect Alex Ovechkin to Return for 2025-26 Season

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin is expected to lace them up for his 21st NHL season in 2025-26. "My understanding is he's under contract, so he'll be back next year," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said following the team's playoff exit against the Carolina Hurricanes. Ovechkin, who will turn 40 in September, will start the final season of a five-year, $47.5 million contract this fall. The Hurricanes limited Ovechkin to just one goal in five games, but the veteran star proved during the regular season that he can still get the job done for Washington and fantasy managers alike. Ovechkin scored 44 goals and 73 points in 65 appearances, breaking Wayne Gretzky's long-standing NHL goals record along the way.

Alex Ovechkin Ends Goal Drought With Power-Play Marker

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. He registered his 77th career postseason goal, passing Mario Lemieux for 12th place on the NHL's all-time playoff goals list, but Washington's offense was no match for Carolina on Monday night. The Hurricanes have done an incredible job defensively against Ovechkin, as the NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer was without a point in the series heading into Game 4. He went goalless in the first three games of the series, with eight shots on goal. Overall, Ovechkin has netted five goals in these playoffs and added one assist in nine outings.

This was Ovechkin's 30th career postseason power-play goal, tying him with Joe Pavelski and Nicklas Lidstrom for fifth place on the NHL's all-time list. The veteran superstar recorded two power-play goals in total against the Canadiens and finished the series with five points (four goals, one assist) in as many games.

The NHL's all-time top goal-scorer opened his 2025 postseason campaign with a power-play goal in the first period, collected an assist in the second, and secured the victory for his team in the extra frame after Montreal erased a two-goal deficit inside the final 10 minutes of regulation.

The Capitals captain enjoyed a prolific regular-season campaign and appears to have carried his form into the playoffs. Over his last 10 appearances, Ovechkin has tallied 10 goals and six assists.
