Alex Ovechkin has indicated he has not made a final decision on retiring after his 21st NHL season. The Capitals' star, who has broken numerous records, is waiting until the off-season to determine whether he will return for a 22nd season or retire, with his future influenced by health, family, and team prospects. His recent performance includes 32 goals and 64 points this season, and he has expressed a desire to stay in Washington or possibly return to Russia. The Capitals are facing a must-win game to reach the playoffs, with Ovechkin's last game in North America potentially approaching.
