Captain”Washington » Alexander Ovechkin will be subject to further review on Wednesday, NHL head coach Spencer Carbery said.
Earlier, the capital club announced that the 39-year-old striker would return to action after a ‘week to week’ injury. The Russian was injured in the third period of the NHL regular season match against Utah (6:2) and was unable to continue the match.
– He will be away for a while. He will visit our doctors today and then we will have a better idea of the timing and the injury. I think the definition “week to week” is pretty accurate.
It was an unfortunate collision. I watched several times… Was there intentional contact by the Utah player? I don’t know. He probably just lost control a little, but I don’t think it was done intentionally,” journalist Tariq-El-Bashir quoted Carbery as saying on social media.
Ovechkin leads the NHL’s sniper list this season with 15 goals. In total, he has 868 NHL goals, second only to Wayne Gretzky’s record (894).
