Official: it's over for Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals
Disappointment Strikes as Capitals Exit Playoffs: Ovechkin's Future Uncertain, it's over for Washington
It was a somber night for Washington Capitals fans as their team was eliminated from the 2024 NHL playoffs following a loss to the New York Rangers.
In a tough 4-2 loss, the Capitals watched their playoff dreams crumble, with the Rangers sealing a commanding 4-0 series victory.
Alex Ovechkin expressed deep disappointment in himself and his teammates.
Ovechkin found himself benched more than 4th line grinders during the crucial elimination game, playing only 8 minutes and 38 seconds over two periods.
Questions now arise about whether this may have been his last playoff appearance. For the first time in his remarkable 19-season career, Ovechkin failed to tally up a single point in a playoff series, a disappointing milestone for the star player.
Ovechkin remains within reach of the all-time NHL goal-scoring record, with 853 career goals to his name, he looks to catch Wayne Gretzky and his 894 goal recorded, just 41 goals away.
