The Capitals will hold a special pregame ceremony at Capital One Arena on November 26, when the team hosts the Winnipeg Jets, to honor captain Alex Ovechkin.
Ovechkin became the first player in NHL history to reach 900 career goals following his historic pursuit of the NHL’s all-time goals record as part of The Gr8 Chase presented by Venture Global and the eighth player to play 1,500 games with a single franchise.
All fans in attendance will receive a collectible cutout courtesy of Venture Global showcasing iconic Ovechkin moments to celebrate the special night. Fans are also encouraged to share their experience on social media using the #Gr8ness hashtag.
