Washington Capitals captain and the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer Alex Ovechkin is facing a headache in Russia over allegedly failing to submit tax returns dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is now the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer, as he broke the record of 894 goals set in 1999 by the legendary Wayne Gretzky.<\/p>\n
Per a report<\/a> from the Russian tabloid “Mash on Sports”, Ovechkin has been sanctioned by Russia’s Federal Taxation Service (FNS) for allegedly not submitting tax returns dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n The hockey legend forgot about his individual entrepreneur and has not sent declarations since 2023. After that, the tax service systematically blocked all of his accounts: two in 2023, two more in 2024, and one very recently – at the end of July 2025.<\/p>\n Ovechkin has no debts, only problems with the individual entrepreneur.
