The Capitals have released a new update on Ovechkin that will see the star remain out for an extended period.
“Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin underwent further evaluation with team doctors. It was confirmed that Ovechkin has a fracture to his left fibula and is anticipated to miss 4-6 weeks,” the team announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
