What multi-team sports cities is their all-time greatest or most iconic player an NHL player?

Washington Capitals player Alex Ovechkin, one of the greatest players in the NHL’s history and the long-time face of the Capitals, announced today he would be retiring at the end of this season.

It got me thinking about the Capitals and DC sports in general, and it made me conclude that Ovechkin is probably the most iconic/greatest player any DC sports team has ever had, especially recently, which is pretty unusual given the Commanders/Redskins’ historic popularity and success in the 80s, and how the 2010s Nationals had great/notable players themselves like Max Scherzer and Bryce Harper.

Are there any other cities with multiple teams where this is the case?
