Ovechkin Returns for 22nd Season on One-Year Deal
Alex Ovechkin is staying put in Washington, signing a one-year contract to return for his 22nd season with the Capitals. At this stage of his career, the Great Eight continues to defy expectations and remain a force in the NHL. The Capitals are betting that Ovechkin still has plenty left in the tank as they look to compete in the Eastern Conference. This deal keeps one of hockey's greatest goal-scorers in a Washington uniform for at least one more year.
