ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -Alex Ovechkin says his knee injury isn’t a bad as he thought.
The two-time reigning league MVP skated briefly at the Washington Capitals’ practice facility Tuesday morning, a day after he was hurt in a knee-to-knee hit against Carolina.
Ovechkin said his knee is a little sore, but he didn’t rule out playing when the Capitals host Florida on Thursday. Coach Bruce Boudreau says his star player is “day-to-day” with a sore knee.
Even if Ovechkin is healthy, he might miss a game or two. He drew a 5-minute major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct for the knee-to-knee hit, the second time in less than a week he’s has been ejected.
