Ovechkin (lower body) missed Monday's practice and is day-to-day, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Ovechkin likely won't be rushed back for preseason games, but he could still be ready when the 2026-27 campaign begins. The 41-year-old forward posted 32 goals, 64 points, 244 shots on net and 134 hits in 82 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season.
