The Great Eight isn't done just yet. The Washington Capitals re-signed captain Alex Ovechkin to a one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
"I'm back!" Ovechkin said in a statement. "Thank you to everyone for giving me and my family the time to make this decision. I'm healthy. I love playing hockey and competing to win. I'm excited to come back and join my teammates so we can fight for a playoff spot and have a chance to win. See you in September, DC!"
