Ovechkin contract extension? | Clay Stevenson called up | Are the players worried?

Alex Ovechkin recently made a special appearance on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show to discuss his record-breaking achievement of scoring 895 career goals, surpassing Wayne Gretzky's NHL record. During the show, he shared insights about the Capitals' current roster, his commitment to the team, and his future in the NHL as he heads into the final year of his contract. Ovechkin expressed his love for the game and his resilience, mentioning that while he traditionally thought about finishing his contract and possibly returning to Russia, he jokingly entertained the idea of extending his stay with the Capitals. In addition to Ovechkin’s accomplishments, the Capitals are currently navigating turbulent times, particularly with their goaltending situation following injuries to Logan Thompson and recent defensive struggles. The team recalled Clay Stevenson from the AHL to help stabilize their performance as they prepare for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite facing challenges and a tough weekend of losses against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the mood in the locker room remains optimistic, with players focusing on refining their game and preparing for the postseason. Coach Spencer Carbery emphasized the need for improvement while acknowledging the team’s potential as they move forward. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
