Ovechkin remains with Capitals and hunts Lemieux
The Russian gunner signed a one-year contract and at the age of 41 wants to get into the elite ten of historical scoring.
Alexander Ovechkin is definitely not done yet. 25 million, which could rise to $9 million in bonuses. This secured his 22nd season in the Capitals jersey and confirmed that his mission in the NHL is continuing.
At the age of 41, Ovechkin shows that his hunger for history knows no bounds. After plundering the opposition's goals and surpassing Gretzky's holy grail, he stopped at number 929. But that's not enough.
His attention now turns to another NHL great, Mario Lemieux. Only 36 points separate him from the tenth place in the league's all-time scoring. This new contract is not just an administrative formality, but a clear signal that the "Big 8" still has the desire to destroy tables and rewrite history.
