- Fantasy hockey: The struggling players to drop and those you should hold on to
There are some slow starters you should move on from, and other with which to be patient or even trade for.
ESPN · Oct 23
Ovechkin scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Kraken.
The goal was Ovechkin's first tally of his final season. The 41-year-old winger saw a season-high 16:56 of ice time -- his minutes had been managed early on since he missed the preseason slate due to a lower-body injury. He's at two points, eight shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating over five appearances. While nominally still on the top line, the depth of the Capitals' offense will likely lead to Ovechkin seeing less ice time than usual in 2026-27.

Ovechkin announced Monday that 2026-27 will be his last NHL season.
Ovechkin will go down as the greatest goal scorer in NHL history, having lit the lamp 929 times in his career -- a total he will add to over the course of the 2026-27 campaign. The world-class winger figures to get plenty of acclaim from opponents throughout the year as he takes one final lap around the league.

Ovechkin (lower body) will be in action against the Hurricanes on Friday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Ovechkin appeared in all 82 regular-season games for the Capitals in 2025-26, notching 32 goals, 32 assists and 19 power-play points. While the 41-year-old winger is unlikely to challenge the top goal scorers in the league this campaign, he should be a productive fantasy option in what could be his final NHL season.

Ovechkin (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason game against the Bruins and Saturday's preseason game against Philadelphia, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
Ovechkin fully participated in Thursday's practice session and appears to be trending in the right direction, but head coach Spencer Carbery said Thursday that it isn't essential for the 41-year-old to play in the preseason in order to be ready for Opening Night. The Capitals will exercise caution with Ovechkin as the preseason draws to a close, but Carbery said Friday that he expects Ovechkin to be available for the team's Opening Night matchup against Carolina on Oct. 2.

Ovechkin (lower body) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and has a chance to play in Friday's preseason game against the Bruins, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Head coach Spencer Carbery mentioned that it's not essential for Ovechkin to play in the preseason in order for him to be ready for opening night. However, the 41-year-old star's presence at practice was a clear step in the right direction if he is to suit up for opening night. He's coming off a 32-goal, 64-point campaign across 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26, and with the upcoming campaign set to potentially be his last, he'll aim to extend his all-time goal record even further in 2026-27.
