Ovechkin has 10 goals and five assists in 12 games, so the Caps will be in tough without him on Friday. Eric Fehr will shift to the first line in Ovi's absence.
The Capitals are calling Ovechkin day-to-day. Washington doesn't play until Friday, so there is a good chance Ovechkin could be in the lineup. Monitor his status after Friday's morning skate.
Ovie only has 2 G, 2 A, -2 and has 1 GWG. He has had his best two games of the season in his last 2 games. However the results still aren't there. Ovechkin may not be what he once was but how can you go from a guarantee of over a point-per-game pace to just 4 points in 9 games? He's got the skill he just needs to find the back of the net.
Looks like the RW experiment in Washington is over. Ovie will move back to the left side tonight as the Capitals take on the Devils and Ovechkin looks for his first goal of the season.
This is good news for owners who have Ovie in leagues that have Average Time on Ice and Shorthanded Goals as categories.
If the Capitals keep Ovechkin on the RW, he would get dual eligibility at LW and RW.
Ovechkin was injured during yesterday's practice but is reportedly OK. The Caps' captain has 29 goals and 53 points in 66 games.
