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.
This wasn’t a particularly notable evening for the Capitals or for Alex Ovechkin as they took on the New Jersey Devils in Newark – no milestones to play for, no playoff spot at stake, not even a particularly close game.
