Alex Ovechkin will be away from the Washington Capitals to attend to a family matter.
ARLINGTON, Va. — Alex Ovechkin will be away from the Washington Capitals to attend to a family matter and the health of a loved one and is expected to be gone for at least the rest of the week, if not longer.
“Sending positive thoughts on behalf of the organization,” the Hurricanes posted on Twitter before the team played at the Capitals on Tuesday night. “There is nothing more important than those we love. We are wishing the best for Alex and his family.” The Capitals have been playing without top defenseman John Carlson since he took a puck to the head on Dec. 23. Also missing are first-line right winger Tom Wilson, fourth-line center Nic Dowd and now Ovechkin, so the team recalled winger Joe Snively from Hershey of the American Hockey League.
The Capitals enter an important stretch in a precarious position: holding on to one of two wild-card spots in the Eastern Conference and in danger of falling out of playoff position by the end of the week. Even before Ovechkin’s absence, they have averaged 2.27 goals over their past 14 games.
