Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin will postpone decisions about his playing future until the summer. The NHL's all-time leading goal scorer, currently at 928 career goals, stated in a recent message that health and discussions with family and team management will be key factors. Ovechkin, who turns 41 in September, has scored 31 goals this season, marking the 20th time he has reached the 30-goal milestone in his 21-year career.
With the Capitals still in playoff contention, Ovechkin's immediate focus remains on the team's final regular-season games. He has accumulated 1,684 points in 1,569 regular-season games, along with 147 playoff points, including the Capitals' 2018 Stanley Cup victory.
