Alexander Ovechkin forced to leave Sunday's tilt with Toronto (w/video)
Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin was forced to leave Sunday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs due to an upper-body injury.
Ovechkin suffered the injury in the third period. He broke up a pass from Maple Leafs forward Alex Kerfoot and went in on a breakaway. As he went to the backhand, he missed the net and was tripped, accidently, by Maple Leafs goaltender Erik Kallgren.
The 36-year-old has had a strong 2021-22 campaign to this point. In 76 games, he's put up 90 points (50 goals, 40 assists), eighteen penalty minutes, and is a plus-nine.
An update on Ovechkin's status will likely come at some point on Monday.
