Alex Ovechkin did not partake in the skate because of a "maintenance day." However, Ovechkin's absence, when coupled with the fact that he was visibly limping after Monday's game, begs the question of whether or not the Captain is injured. I guess we will have to wait and see, but I certainly hope Ovechkin will be able to play through it.
With the absence of Ovechkin, the lines were as follows: Chimera-Laich-Brouwer, Hendricks-Perreault-Semin, Knuble-Johansson-Ward, and Beagle-Halpern. All eight defensemen skated, including Dmitry Orlov, who missed Monday's game with an illness, and Mike Green, who seems to be doing well in terms of health following his surgery a little less than five weeks ago. That's a great sign.
Washington plays in Ottawa on Wednesday night in what has become the biggest game of the season for them.
That's all for now.
