Caps just announced..
“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.”
I would guess he will be put on LTIR retroactively
Mickstix:
Wasn't even his knee.. :wackysmile: Get well soon Ovi!! We'll see after the Christmas break!!

its a wee crack in the bone. Old school guys could play on that :snicker:
Tape it up and he's good to go

given the type of athlete he’s been I wouldn’t be surprised if he heals faster than average, but I’m not prepared to bet money on that

Yes it's hard to say with a "fracture". That could be a hairline crack or a crevice. Hairline fracture could be well on the way to healed in 2-3 weeks.
I expect the very soonest we see Ovi skating is 3-4 weeks and not in a game until January.
And hell it's been 5 days already....another couple weeks and he'll be good.
Who wore the "C" last night? Or do we just go with 3 "A" ?
