With Ovechkin getting older, many have wondered when he might retire. He's 39 years old but has shown no signs of slowing down. The Russian entered Thursday's regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins with 43 goals and 29 assists on the year.

Alex Ovechkin said he plans to return at least one more season after setting the all-time NHL goalscoring record during his 20th campaign with the Washington Capitals.

On April 6, with Alex Ovechkin one goal away from breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL record, fans spent thousands of dollars to get inside UBS Arena and 1.3 million viewers tuned into TNT/truTV to watch Ovechkin and the Capitals take on the New York Islanders.
