Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is reported to have received 33 traffic tickets in Russia during the offseason. The fines are said to total about 82,000 rubles, with most violations related to speeding.
According to reports, Ovechkin has reportedly paid 32 of the 33 tickets, leaving one unpaid. One outlet also raises a question about the accuracy of the claim, asking whether Ovechkin truly “racked up” that number of fines over the summer.
Both sources frame the story around the same reported amount and ticket count, while differing in emphasis. The Times of India presents the figure as a largely resolved matter, noting his preparations to return to the United States for training camp and the NHL season. The Vancouver Sun focuses more on verification, highlighting that the report’s accuracy is disputed rather than definitively confirmed.
