Washington’s general manager said that he has not yet discussed his future with Ovechkin at the club.
Washington Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said he has not yet discussed his future with the club with team captain Alexander Ovechkin.
The 40-year-old Russian’s contract expires after the end of this season.
“We didn’t actually have this conversation.” We talked a little bit about where the team was and what he thought we needed and what I thought we needed.
But we did not discuss his future in detail. I would say that in his conversations with me, he seems very focused on the short term and the team trying to make the playoffs and have another chance to win the Stanley Cup. So yes, you will have to wait,” journalist Tariq El-Bashir quotes Patrick as saying on the social network X.
Ovechkin has 994 goals in the NHL, including the playoffs, Wayne Gretzky’s record is 1016 goals. The 40-year-old Russian is the league record holder for goals in the regular season (917).
Ovechkin has scored 20 goals and provided 21 assists this season.
