Caps' Ovechkin out again with lower-body injury
Written by I Dig SportsWashington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury when he was scratched for Sunday's contest against the host New York Rangers.
Ovechkin did not play for the first time this season in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rangers in Washington. He initially sustained the injury Jan. 5 when his left leg became tangled up with Carolina's Jordan Staal and missed some practices as a precaution due to the injury.
Following Saturday's game, Washington coach Spencer Carbery said there was an "outside chance" the 38-year-old would play Sunday.
Ovechkin has eight goals and 19 assists in 39 games this season and is currently on a six-game points streak. Last season, Ovechkin produced 42 goals and 75 points in 73 games.
