Washington Capitals star Alexander Ovechkin left early in the second period and did not return to the game in the team’s 5-4 loss against the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight. The possible injury occurred when Ovie collided with Raffi Torres.

After falling to the ice, the Russian player stood up and appeared to be in pain. A team spokesman said that Ovechkin had suffered some sort of upper body injury and is currently being listed as day-to-day.
I know there are other players for the Caps to rely on but no one wants to lose a player like Ovechkin, who went into Sunday’s game with a league-leading 14 goals and 23 points.
