Due to a large portion of their squad being injured this season, including top forward Nicklas Backstrom and many others, as well as standout defenseman John Carlson, the Washington Capitals have been one of the most injury-prone rosters.
The Capitals have received even worse news, and it appears that they will now lose even more chance of making the playoffs. Alexander Ovechkin will miss a number of games due to a lower-body injury.
The Capitals recently played�against the Vegas Golden Knights without Ovechkin, and they lost 6-2 as a result. The Russian Machine did break, and we hope for a speedy recovery.�
