Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin reportedly amassed an unusually high number of traffic violations in Russia during the summer NHL offseason, according to Russian media outlet Mash Sport. The 33 citations, amounting to 82,000 rubles ($1,000), included speeding, toll violations, unpaid parking fines, and parking in restricted areas.
The infraction occurred while Ovechkin was away from the NHL for an extended period. While some of the citations have reportedly been paid, one fine of 4,500 rubles remains outstanding. The incident likely garnered attention due to the sheer quantity of violations rather than their financial value. Ovechkin, still one of the NHL's most recognizable players, is set to return to the Washington Capitals for his 22nd NHL season after signing a new one-year contract.
His performance in the 2025-26 season will be closely watched as he prepares to be a center of attention for his team once again.
