The first photo where Alex Ovechkin is pictured with former NBA star Timofey Mozgov in the green swim trunks shows a bit of his fuller belly than we normally see. However, a pair of other photos including a side profile really show a potential problem.
With Alex Ovechkin's play style in recent years revolving more around physicality, his brain, and his shot as opposed to his speed this shouldn't impact his play too much. He will once again have an opportunity to close the gap on Wayne Gretzky's goal-scoring record in 2024-25.
