Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin left the team’s practice a few minutes after it started, but quickly returned to the ice, journalist Tariq El-Bashir reported on social media.
— Ovechkin left practice a few minutes later. Inexplicably. He left on his own and headed towards the locker room. “He came back later,” El-Bashir wrote.
Another attacker Evgeny Kuznetsov who missed the match against Columbus (4:3) on November 18 due to illness, trained with his partners.
– Let’s see how he feels tomorrow. “He’s missed quite a bit of time due to illness over the last few weeks,” head coach Spencer Carbery said.
This season, Ovechkin, 38, scored 12 points (5+7) in 15 games. The Russian ranks second on the list of best snipers in league history with 827 goals. According to this indicator, he is second only to Canadian Wayne Gretzky, who has 894 goals. There are 67 goals remaining to reach the Canadian striker’s record.
“Washington” ranks seventh in the Eastern Conference standings with 20 points. On Wednesday, the capital team will host Buffalo.
