PITTSBURGH \u2013-<\/strong> The fans might have missed out on Alex Ovechkin<\/a> and Sidney Crosby<\/a>\u00a0going head-to-head at PPG Paints Arena one more time, but Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals left town with pretty much everything they could\u2019ve hoped for Saturday.<\/p>\n

That the Pittsburgh Penguins sat out Crosby, Evgeni Malkin<\/a>\u00a0and five other regulars to give them time off to heal some minor injuries before the Stanley Cup Playoffs turned out to be a good thing for the Capitals, who are battling to stay alive in the playoff race.<\/p>\n

Washington (41-30-9) assured itself of playing at least one more meaningful game with its 6-3 victory, with Ovechkin clinching an empty-net goal. They’re three points behind the Philadelphia Flyers for third place in the Metropolitan Division with two games left to play for each.<\/p>\n

The Capitals will try to stay alive again in a rematch with the Penguins at Capital One Arena in Washington on Sunday (3 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, MNMT, truTV, TNT, SN360, TVAS).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to take (it) game by game and we\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d Ovechkin said. \u201cObviously, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s the score in the different (games), but we just have to get two points tomorrow and we\u2019re still in. So, it\u2019s a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The game Sunday could also be Ovechkin\u2019s last at Capital One Arena, his home for 21 NHL seasons. The 40-year-old left wing is in the final season of a five-year, $47.5 million contract he signed in 2021. He said earlier this week that he will wait until the offseason to decide whether he\u2019ll play in the NHL again next season.<\/p>\n

So, many will be coming to Capital One Arena in case it\u2019s their last chance to see Ovechkin, the NHL\u2019s all-time leader with 929 career goals, play there before Washington closes out the regular season at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Whether they\u2019ll see Crosby too remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Locked into second place in the Metropolitan Division, Pittsburgh (41-23-16) has little to play for standings-wise, so Crosby (lower body), Malkin (upper body), Erik Karlsson<\/a> (lower body), Kris Letang<\/a> (upper body), Bryan Rust<\/a> (lower body), Ben Kindel<\/a> (lower body) and Parker Wotherspoon<\/a>\u00a0(upper body) didn\u2019t play Saturday and were designated as day-to-day.<\/p>\n

Penguins coach Dan Muse was noncommittal about whether any of them will play Sunday or in the team\u2019s regular-season finale at the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ll have conversations with our medical staff, and we’ll make determinations going into tomorrow,\u201d Muse said.<\/p>\n

With the Capitals season hanging in the balance, Ovechkin didn\u2019t seem to mind that Crosby, Malkin and Co. sat out Saturday, but seemed to think there\u2019s a decent chance at least Crosby will play Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care who\u2019s playing,\u201d Ovechkin, who leads the Capitals with 32 goals and 62 points this season, said. \u201cWe just need the big win and, obviously, tomorrow he\u2019s probably going to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Crosby does play, it will be the 100th game between him and Ovechkin, including the playoffs. Together, Ovechkin, the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NHL Draft, and Crosby, the No. 1 pick in the 2005 NHL Draft, have written many memorable chapters in a storied rivalry that\u2019s included four postseason series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crosby and the Penguins won the first three (2009, 2016, 2017) and went on to win the Stanley Cup each time. The Capitals finally broke through to defeat the Penguins in the second round in 2018 and went on to win the Cup for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been so many great battles here that they’ve been a part of obviously, Sid and Ovi,\u201d Capitals forward Tom Wilson said. \u201cThey\u2019re two legends.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is still a longshot chance that they could meet again in the Eastern Conference First Round this season, but the Capitals will need a lot of help for that to happen and can\u2019t afford to lose either of their two remaining games.<\/p>\n

In case this was Ovechkin\u2019s final game in Pittsburgh, the Penguins and their fans paid tribute to him with a video on the center ice scoreboard screen and a standing ovation during a media time-out with 5:43 remaining in the second period. Following the video of Ovechkin and Crosby talking about their rivalry and becoming friendly over the years, Penguins public address announcer Ryan Mill said, \u201cOvi, thank you for 21 years of the greatest rivalry in hockey. It has been a pleasure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a pause for the cheers, Mill said, \u201cAnd if you want, we’re ready to go for 22.\u201d<\/p>\n

A smiling Ovechkin stood and waved to the crowd. When the cheers continued, Ovechkin waved again and applauded the fans for their support in a city where he wasn\u2019t often so warmly received.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was nice,\u201d Ovechkin said. \u201cIt was a show of respect to all the time that we spend in the rivalries, playoffs, regular season. It shows respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Players on both teams joined the salute by banging their sticks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether it’s your home crowd or your away crowd, what makes hockey great is the blood, sweat, and tears, and \u2018O’s\u2019 done a ton of that in this building,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cAnd I think it’s awesome to see the Pittsburgh crowd give him that respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to play with Sid, and get to know Sid and kind of just watching Ovi from afar, hearing some stories from ‘Geno’ (Malkin) about him, it’s a cool moment,\u201d Penguins forward Kevin Hayes<\/a> said. \u201cI hope it’s not the last weekend where they play against each other. Both still elite players. Elite, elite players. And I think they both should keep playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ovechkin isn\u2019t ruling that out. He made that clear when asked what he\u2019ll remember most about playing in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s going to be my last year or not,\u201d Ovechkin said. \u201cSo, we will talk if I\u2019m going to say I\u2019m retired. I didn\u2019t say that, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
