Washington Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin was off to a torrid start to the 2024-25 season, but his campaign was derailed after he sustained a leg injury against the Utah Hockey Club. Washington announced Wednesday that Ovechkin would be considered week-to-week going forward.
The Capitals provided an update on Ovechkin's injury on Thursday. After undergoing further evaluation from team doctors, it was determined that he sustained a fracture in his left fibula. The team announced he was expected to miss four to six weeks, meaning he could be shelved through the start of the new year.
