This is the second time that Ovechkin has mentioned retirement this season. Earlier in the year when talking to American media Ovechkin said that he would retire once he stopped enjoying the game.
«Still enjoy it,» Ovechkin said in October. «As soon as I'm not going to enjoy it, it's probably not right for me to stay here and play the game the way I wanted to play.»
With the new admission from Ovechkin that this contract might be it for him in the NHL, he now has started a two-and-a-half season clock until retirement. This also means he has that period of time to beat Wayne Gretzky's goal record.
If Ovechkin does not break the record in this time period it will be interesting to see if he will consider extending his career.
