Alexander Ovechkin has won one Stanley Cup. In 2018 he led the Washington Capitals to their first NHL championship in franchise history. Ovechkin shined in the finals, scoring his 15th goal of the playoffs in a game-five victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. Ovechkin was the first Russian player to captain a team to the Stanley Cup. His outstanding postseason performance earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy for most valuable player in the playoffs.
