Alex Ovechkin, NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer at 41, is back in training camp leaner and fiercer than ever, chasing records while embracing the Capitals’ new roster upgrades. Signed for $1M plus bonuses, he’s energized by fresh talent like Tuch and Jenner and the team’s championship push. Rooted in Washington as his second home, Ovechkin focuses on present-day joy, family, and team depth — not retirement. He’s joking about his diet, crushing conditioning drills, and refusing to confirm if this is his final season. Teammates are stunned by his relentless drive, proving age is just a number when passion meets purpose.
