We don’t know whether this will be Alex Ovechkin’s final season as a Washington Capital or not, but there’s never a bad time to reflect back on two decades of being treated to this amazing talent. So each game day throughout the 2025-26 season, we’re going to be picking an Ovechkin moment to remember against that day’s opponent!
Alex Ovechkin hasn’t had a ton of memorable moments over the years against the Minnesota Wild – or opportunities to have them – but not every game can be a milestone moment (even when sometimes it feels like it’s the case with #8) and looking back at an “average” game for Ovechkin can be something almost as special.
