Alex Ovechkin Logs Full Practice Monday
Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (lower body) took part in a full-contact practice on Monday. This was his first full practice since training camp began, as Ovechkin has been dealing with a lingering lower-body injury. "Obviously, it was kind of like day to day, but we don't want to push it because it's training camp and we still have time to get ready for regular year," Ovechkin said. "So, I'll be ready and hope my body is going to feel good." Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said it's unlikely Ovechkin will play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, it's a possibility that he will feature in the team's final two preseason outings this week. The injury was a setback for Ovechkin, but all indications suggest he will be ready for opening night.
