Caps’ Ovechkin out again with lower-body injury

NHL

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury when he was scratched for Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the host New York Rangers.

Ovechkin, 38, did not play for the first time this season in Saturday’s 3-2 win over the Rangers in Washington. He initially sustained the injury Jan. 5 when his left leg became tangled up with Carolina‘s Jordan Staal and missed some practices as a precaution.

Following Saturday’s game, Washington coach Spencer Carbery had said there was an “outside chance” Ovechkin would play Sunday.

Ovechkin has eight goals and 19 assists in 39 games and is on a six-game points streak. Last season, Ovechkin produced 42 goals and 75 points in 73 games.
