Alex Ovechkin has partnered with a Russian technology company to produce a movie, series or documentary about his NHL career. Yandex and its streaming platform, Kinopoisk, announced the agreement Tuesday. Ovechkin this past spring broke Wayne Gretzky's career goals record and has scored 897 going into the final season of his contract with the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin, who turns 40 next month, has along with his representatives granted the rights to adapt his career to Yandex's production label, Plus Studio. The Moscow native is expected to take part in commercials and serve as a Yandex ambassador as part of the deal.

The 2025-26 NHL schedule released Wednesday came with plenty of potentially intriguing matchups if they materialize. Top draft pick Matthew Schaefer could make his New York Islanders debut against Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins in October. Career goal-record holder Alex Ovechkin could also play his final game in the league against Crosby in April. In between, there are games in football and baseball stadiums in Florida, two in Sweden and a couple of days when all 32 teams are playing.

The NHL has released the full 2025-26 schedule. It is the final 82-game season before the new collective bargaining agreement kicks in and increases to 84. Alex Ovechkin begins his 21st season on Oct. 8 when he and the Washington Capitals host Boston. Ovechkin is at 897 career goals after breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and can now surpass 900. After raising their second consecutive Stanley Cup banner on opening night Oct. 7 against Chicago, the back-to-back defending champion Florida Panthers host Philadelphia two days later. The league's 32 teams will combine to play 1,312 games between Oct. 7 and April 16 with the playoffs to run from then through much of June.
