Now 81 games into the Capitals season we still have no definitive answer when it comes to what the future holds for Ovechkin, but on Sunday afternoon Ovechkin may have provided the first glimpse into what his thoughts on that future may be.

Ovechkin and the Capitals faced off against arguably their greatest rivals in Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday, with the Capitals emerging victorious by a score of 3-0 in what was a must-win game as far as the Capitals' playoff hopes are concerned, but it would be after the game had ended that Ovechkin may have given us a clue.
