Capitals Notebook: Ovechkin Returns To Practice, Game Group Lines
Alex Ovechkin took the ice with the Washington Capitals for the first time all training camp on Saturday. The 40-year-old remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Coach Spencer Carbery hopes that he can get the Russian into at least one road and one home preseason game. Washington also ran power play at practice, with Aliaksei Protas, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Ryan Leonard, Andrew Cristall and Jakob Chychrun on PP1.
Ovechkin remained in a non-contact jersey, but was participating in small-area drills and taking reps while cycling in on line rushes. The 40-year-old remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury, but it’s a step in the right direction.
Group A could be how the Capitals line up for Sunday’s preseason game against the New Jersey Devils.
Ovechkin, who was rotating in, isn’t ready to dress, but coach Spencer Carbery hopes that he can get the Russian into at least one road and one home preseason game ahead of the regular season. They will play things by ear, though.
Here were the combinations from Group A:
Aliaksei Protas-Pierre-Luc Dubois-Ryan Leonard
Brandon Duhaime-Ilya Protas-Justin Sourdif
Andrew Cristall-Eriks Mateiko-Graeme Clarke
Terik Parascak-Patrick Thomas-Bogdan Trineyev
