周日下午，叶夫根尼·马尔金和匹兹堡企鹅队对阵亚历克斯·奥维奇金和华盛顿首都队。随着退役传闻四起，这可能是奥维奇金在华盛顿的最后一场主场比赛。然而，马尔金是否相信这位华盛顿前锋会在赛季结束后从 NHL 退役？

这位企鹅队前锋告诉记者，他相信奥维契金将在 2026-27 NHL 赛季回归。马尔金表示，奥维奇金“肯定会在明年回来”，因为他“仍然很饿”。截至目前，这位 40 岁的华盛顿前锋计划在赛季结束后做出退役决定，但他的密友认为他还没有完成。

奥维契金是NHL历史上最好的得分手，而且他仍然保持着高水平的表现。这位首都队球星在他的第 21 个 NHL 赛季中攻入 32 粒进球、31 次助攻和 63 分。虽然奥维契金的表现没有达到每赛季 50 个进球的水平，但他仍然为华盛顿提供了急需的进攻能力。

由于奥维奇金的合同将于 2025-26 NHL 赛季结束后到期，如果他继续在 NHL 效力，他将需要与首都队签下一份新合同。由于奥维契金的合同即将到期，本赛季末一直被视为奥维契金潜在的退役点。

这位40岁的前锋此前曾表示希望在俄罗斯退役，并有可能在莫斯科迪纳摩队踢最后一个赛季。如果奥维金从 NHL 退役，今年看到他在俄罗斯打球也不会让人感到惊讶。然而，首都队希望他能重返球队再参加一场比赛。

毕竟奥维契金的进攻输出很难被取代。马尔金相信华盛顿不必担心，奥维奇金至少会再复出一个赛季。

Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins face Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals on Sunday afternoon. With retirement rumors swirling, this could be Ovechkin’s last home game in Washington. However, does Malkin believe the Washington forward will retire from the NHL after the season ends?

The Penguins forward believes Ovechkin will return for the 2026-27 NHL season, the player told reporters. Malkin said Ovechkin will “definitely be back next year” because he is “still hungry.” As of now, the 40-year-old Washington forward plans to make a decision to retire after the season, but his close friend believes he won’t do that just yet.

Ovechkin is the best goal scorer in NHL history, and he is still performing at a high level. The Capitals star has 32 goals, 31 assists and 63 points in his 21st NHL season. While Ovechkin isn’t performing at a 50-goals-per-season level, he still provides much-needed offensive production for Washington.

Since Ovechkin’s contract expires at the conclusion of the 2025–26 NHL season, he will need to sign a new contract with the Capitals if he is to continue playing in the NHL. The end of this season has long been viewed as a potential retirement point for Ovechkin, as his contract expires.

The 40-year-old forward has previously expressed his desire to retire in Russia and potentially play a final season with Dynamo Moscow. If Ovechkin does retire from the NHL, it wouldn’t be shocking to see him play in Russia this year. However, the Capitals would love to have him back in the organization for another campaign.

After all, Ovechkin’s offensive production is hard to replace. Malkin believes Washington won’t have to worry and that Ovechkin will be back for at least one more season.
