Alex Ovechkin is on the verge of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record, needing just nine goals with 18 games left in the 2024-25 NHL season. While he has one year remaining on his contract with the Capitals, Ovechkin has expressed uncertainty about his future in Washington and is considering a return to Dynamo Moscow in the KHL, where he hopes to conclude his professional career. He also envisions a potential farewell game featuring Dynamo against the Capitals, depending on global circumstances. In addition, the Capitals recently acquired forward Anthony Beauvillier during the NHL trade deadline to enhance their roster as they push for the playoffs. After his debut game, Beauvillier showcased his skills and connections with teammates, indicating he could be a valuable asset with his playoff experience. The Capitals are integrating younger, faster players like Beauvillier into their lineup, aiming for depth scoring and agility to bolster their performance in the concluding games of the season.
