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 as we look back at an incredible career.
On January 16, 2020, Alex Ovechkin took on the New Jersey Devils and promptly put up a three-spot; two nights later in Long Island, he was at it again.
Ovechkin’s first goal of the evening not only put the Caps on top 1-0 over the Islanders, but went into the books as his 690th goal, which tied Mario Lemieux for 10th all time.
