Down-the-line.com/Hockey. Washington Capitals mentor Peter Laviolette said he doesn’t know when Russian team captain Alexander Ovechkin will return to the ice. Earlier, the Russian missed the NHL regular season game with the New York Rangers (3:5).

“Will Ovechkin and Milano come back tomorrow? I have no idea. Regardless of our lineup, we have to be ready for the games and we have to win them,” Lavioletta told the NHL Press Service. .

Washington has lost every game Ovechkin has missed this season.

Recall that Ovechkin missed the previous match due to a lower body injury. The next game, “Washington”, will be on March 16. On that day, the Capitals will face the Buffalo Sabers.
