Ilya Kovalchuk plans to continue his NHL careerMarch 28, 2020 | 08:35 PM

Ilya Kovalchuk has made it known he plans to play at least one more season in the NHL. Analysis: Kovalchuk proved he still has plenty left in the tank at 36 years old. He started the season with three goals and nine points in 17 games with L. A., moved on to Montreal and had six goals with 13 points in 22 outings. He was then dealt to the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline, amassing a goal and four points in seven contests before the NHL pressed the pause button due to the coronavirus situation. He has lit the lamp 443 times with 876 points across 926 NHL games, and 1,000 points could easily be attained in perhaps two more seasons.
