Alex Ovechkin Considered Week-To-Week
18 seconds agoWashington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (leg) has been labeled as week-to-week. The legendary forward suffered a lower leg injury in Monday's 6-2 win against Utah. The injury will halt Ovechkin's quest to break Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record. After finding the back of the net twice in Monday's win, he needs 27 more goals to make the record his own. Ovechkin leads the league in goals for the first time since 2022 and has amassed 25 points (15 goals, 10 assists) in 18 games during a highly productive start to the campaign. A more specific timeline for Ovechkin's return might be provided later in the week, as team physicians will evaluate him further on Wednesday.
