Ovechkin Extends Legacy with 22nd Season | Mesa News
Description
Alex Ovechkin just signed a one-year, $4.25M deal to return for his 22nd NHL season — making him Washington D.C.’s longest-tenured pro athlete and the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer. At 41, he’s still dominating: 32 goals, 64 points last season, and he’s now over 1,000 career goals. The Capitals are betting big on him, offering a $1M base with massive bonuses to incentivize his return. He’ll soon surpass Walter Johnson as D.C.’s most tenured pro sports icon and remains the franchise’s heartbeat — captain for 18 seasons, the team’s record scorer, and the player they’ve built their legacy around.
