Alex Ovechkin announces this will be his final NHL season as all-time great career comes to a close
Alex Ovechkin announced his NHL retirement before the Capitals' home opener, closing out a 22-season career as the all-time goal-scoring leader.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Ovechkin confirming that this will be his final NHL season and frame it as a retirement story. The Guardian US emphasizes his status as the league’s all-time leading goalscorer, his 22nd NHL season, and the start of a farewell tour, while The Hill alone mentions that he would go back to live in Russia after retirement.
