In a shocking turn of events, the Washington Capitals have clarified that no decisions have been made regarding Alex Ovechkin's future in the NHL. This revelation comes on the heels of a bungled email that wrongly informed season-ticket holders that next season would mark the end of Ovechkin's illustrious career.

The Capitals took to social media to acknowledge the blunder, attributing the mishap to an error from someone within the corporate sales department. It seems a mix-up could have stirred significant speculation!

Ovechkin, who recently eclipsed Wayne Gretzky's legendary career goal-scoring record with a staggering 897 goals, is not ready to hang up his skates just yet. With the 2025-26 season being the final stretch under his current contract, signed in 2021, the stakes are high as he approaches his 40th birthday this September.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Ovechkin has firmly stated his intention to lace up for another season—marking his 21st in the league! The hockey world waits with bated breath to see if this iconic player will continue to dazzle fans on the ice.
