Sports director and general director of Dynamo Moscow Alexei Sopin suggested how seriously injured the Washington forward could have been Alexander Ovechkin .
On Monday, Ovechkin, 39, injured his leg late in the NHL regular season game against Utah (6:2). Later, the Washington press service reported that the Russian was placed on the injured list and his return to work was expected “from week to week.”
— We contacted Alexandre: Alexei Nikolayevich Kudashov I called him from the trainer’s room. They had just arrived from a trip and he was available. He said there was no information yet on the injury, it didn’t appear to be anything serious, but at this time he still had to have a follow-up MRI.
In the evening, we heard an official statement from Washington. I think he was gone for about two weeks. Most likely, one of his ligaments is damaged. Maybe an ankle. Thank God it’s not a knee,” Sopin said as quoted by “Championship”.
This season, Ovechkin leads the NHL’s sniper list with 15 goals. In total, he has 868 goals in the NHL, 26 goals behind Wayne Gretzky’s record (894).
Washington leads the NHL Eastern Conference standings with 27 points in 18 games. In the next match, the club will host Colorado on November 21.
