Alexander Ovechkin says winning a second Stanley Cup was the reason he signed a new contract with Washington.
Ovechkin pointed to the moves Washington made over the summer as grounds for confidence, saying the club had brought in strong additions. He put it plainly: what matters most is reaching the play-offs, and if the group pulls together as one unit, the rest will take care of itself regardless of how the regular season unfolds.
The remarks came in an interview with Vyacheslav Fetisov.
