Capitals Provide Update On Ovechkin Injury, Status vs. Sabres
The Washington Capitals shared an update on Alex Ovechkin’s injury. He missed Tuesday’s game with a lower-body injury.
WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals will again have to wait and see if Alex Ovechkin is healthy enough to draw in, as he will be a game-time decision against the Buffalo Sabres.
Head coach Peter Laviolette said on Wednesday that Ovechkin's status is questionable.
Ovechkin missed Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers and has missed a total of six games this season, including one other due to a lower-body injury in late January and four following the death of his father, Mikhail, last month. Washington is 0-6-0 and has lost the last nine games overall without Ovechkin dating back to last season.

Sonny Milano, who also sat out Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness, will be out again.
