Alex Ovechkin away from Capitals for ‘foreseeable future’
Capitals star Alex Ovechkin will be away from the team for an unspecified amount of time as he attends to a family matter and the health of a loved one.
But Ovechkin’s departure is another blow for a Capitals team that has been inconsistent amid a revolving door of injuries and absences. After a slow start to the season, the Capitals surged up the standings in December by going 11-2-2. But they’ve struggled again since then, failing to win consecutive games all of January. Entering Tuesday’s action, the Capitals are 28-21-6 with 62 points and are holding on to one of two wild card spots in the Eastern Conference.
To replace Ovechkin, the Capitals called up forward Joe Snively from the American Hockey League’s Hershey Bears. Snively has appeared in only six games for Washington this season after playing in 12 games last year. But the 27-year-old was among the team’s extra skaters in Tuesday’s morning skate, while Aliaksei Protas filled in Ovechkin’s left wing spot on the top line.
