Alexander Ovechkin has reason to keep going and keep competing at a high level so you can't really compare Hull in his later years (aged 38 to 41) to Ovechkin (36)right now.

Even Hull managed 37 goals at age 38 in the midst of the dead puck era (albeit stacked Red Wings). If anything he's an argument in favour of Ovi being able to maintain a high pace.
