Alex Ovechkin and his family are heading back to Russia following the end of the Capitals' season, as seen in an Instagram post highlighting their extensive baggage. With eleven pieces of luggage and multiple hockey bags, their travel haul is compared to the one from 2018 when Ovechkin brought back Stanley Cup gear. His agent stated that he plans to arrive in Moscow by the end of May. Ovechkin recently surpassed Wayne Gretzky's goal record and aims to play another season at 40.
Ovechkin joked about flying 'lightly' with an impressive amount of luggage, similar to his 2018 travel when carrying Stanley Cup gear back to Russia.
Agent Gleb Chistyakov confirmed Ovechkin's imminent return to Russia, sharing specific travel plans for the end of May.
Ovechkin is returning as the NHL's new goals king, having broken Wayne Gretzky's long-held record, with 897 career goals.
The Capitals captain, who finished the season strong, aims to continue playing at age 40 next season.
