Ovechkin would likely skate Wednesday, the team said, though his status for Thursday night’s home game against the Anaheim Ducks remains uncertain.
The organization honored Mikhail Ovechkin with a moment of silence before last Thursday night’s home game against the Florida Panthers. Ovechkin has remained in touch with his teammates during his absence — he spoke to the team the day before he left the country and sent a supportive text message to the group ahead of theirTuesday night’s 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings
, when forward Anthony Mantha left the game with an upper-body injury. But the return of Ovechkin will boost a lineup that has recently added back some key players ahead of the final stretch of the season. Forward Tom Wilson, who missed eight games with a lower-body injury has returned, as has center Nic Dowd, who had been sidelined for the past 12 games with a lower-body injury.
Also on the ice before practice Monday was defenseman John Carlson, who has been out since December after being hit on the side of the head with a puck. Carlson was in full gear and working with the team’s skating coach, Wendy Marco. He remains out indefinitely and is expected to be reevaluated later this month.
