"Ovechkin scored 44 goals last season tied for third-most in the NHL on his way to breaking Wayne Gretzky's record of 894 goals in April. Except for the pandemic-shortened 2020-2021 season, Ovechkin has scored at least 31 goals every year he's been in the NHL. A nine-time winner of the Maurice Rocket Richard Trophy as the NHL's leading single-season goal scorer, Ovechkin has scored at least 50 goals nine times."
"Now it's a matter of whether this will be the last time Sharks fans will get to see Ovechkin play in San Jose, outside of a meeting with the Capitals in the Stanley Cup Final. The Capitals only visit the Sharks once per season, and Ovechkin is in the final year of a five-year, $47.5 million contract. He has not indicated at any point that this will be his last year in the NHL,"
Will Smith, a 20-year-old forward, has 12 goals in his sophomore NHL season for the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks will host the Washington Capitals, where Smith will face captain Alex Ovechkin, age 40, who has 909 career NHL goals. Ovechkin is in the final year of a five-year, $47.5 million contract and has not committed to returning for 2026-27. Ovechkin scored 44 goals last season and broke Wayne Gretzky's 894-goal record in April. Except for the pandemic-shortened 2020-2021 season, Ovechkin has scored at least 31 goals every NHL season and has won nine Rocket Richard Trophies.
