Alex Ovechkin A Game-Time Decision Thursday
11 months agoWashington Capitals left winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) is a game-time decision for Thursday's contest versus the visiting St. Louis Blues. The superstar winger has missed the past three games with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice for the first time since getting injured. It's been a career-worst season for the future Hall of Famer, who has netted just nine goals alongside 19 helpers for 27 points in 39 games. However, he does have a goal and six points over his last five games, while his 5.8% shooting rate is less than half of his 12.8% career mark. Don't be surprised to see No. 8 go on a goal-scoring binge once he returns to the lineup.
