Alex Ovechkin A Full Practice Participant Wednesday
10 months agoWashington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) participated in a full practice with the team on Wednesday. The sniper has missed the last three games, and it's still to be determined if he will suit up for Thursday's road contest against the St. Louis Blues. "Positive step today with him taking part in a full practice, which was one of the hurdles that we needed him to be able to participate in a full practice," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said Wednesday. It's been a disappointing season for the goal-scoring legend, as Ovechkin has recorded just eight goals and 19 points across 39 games. However, a severely diminished 5.8% shooting rate sits well below his 12.8% career mark, suggesting a goal-scoring barrage could be on the horizon.
