The Washington Capitals are currently sitting in seventh in the NHL's Eastern Conference with only a few weeks left in the regular season, and they appear likely to earn a playoff berth in what has been a tight race. The team has once again been led by superstar captain Alex Ovechkin, who - barring an incredible hot streak by Steven Stamkos - will win yet another Rocket Richard trophy as the league's leading goal scorer.

Away from the ice, things are going pretty well for Ovechkin also. Last year, his engagement ended with fiancée Maria Kirilenko, who is a Russion tennis player, but he appears to have found a new romantic interest in Nastya Shubskaya.
