If this was indeed the final home game of Alex Ovechkin’s sensational NHL career, the Washington Capitals star collected enough memories to take him deep into retirement.
From the opening faceoff to the celebratory post-game skate in which he waved gratefully to the adoring fans, Ovechkin enjoyed one heck of a day.
Best of all, the Capitals won Sunday to remain in the playoff hunt.
Playing in front of a loud, appreciative crowd, the Capitals beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0.
The 40-year-old Ovechkin will wait until the offseason to decide whether to retire or return for a 22nd NHL season.
