Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Skating on his own
Ovechkin (fibula) is skating on his own in a non-contact jersey, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
This doesn't change Ovechkin's return timeline, but it's encouraging to see him take his first strides in his recovery. The 39-year-old winger will likely still be out until the second half of December at the earliest. He'll continue to log individual skating sessions until he is cleared to join the full team in practice.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Out 4-6 weeks with fractured fibula
Ovechkin, who was previously listed as week-to-week with a lower-leg injury, is expected to miss 4-6 weeks because of a fracture to his left fibula, the Capitals announced Thursday.
Ovechkin suffered the injury when he collided with Jack McBain during Monday's 6-2 victory over Utah. The 39-year-old Ovechkin was off to a fantastic start to the campaign with 15 goals and 25 points in 18 appearances, including five goals over his past two outings. He's also just 26 markers away from matching Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead in goals. Andrew Mangiapane is projected to move up to the top line alongside Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas during Ovechkin's absence. Ivan Miroshnichenko was recalled from AHL Hershey on Wednesday and is set to make his NHL season debut Thursday versus Colorado.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Lands on IR
Ovechkin (lower leg) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.
Ovechkin's placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was deemed week-to-week by the Caps on Tuesday. After managing just 31 goals last season -- a low mark given his lofty standards -- the elite winger was rolling to open the 2024-25 campaign with 15 goals in 18 contests. It's not only a blow for Washington but for Ovechkin, who looked to be closing in on the all-time goal-scoring record held by Wayne Gretzky (894).

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Undergoing evaluation after collision
Ovechkin is being evaluated for a leg injury after departing Monday's game against Utah in the third period, according to Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.
Ovechkin collided with Jack McBain in the final frame, and the former needed assistance getting off the ice. Ovechkin stayed on the bench for a short period of time, but he eventually headed to the locker room and didn't return. The 39-year-old potted two goals against Utah on Monday, and he now leads the league in that category with 15 goals through 18 games. Head coach Spencer Carbery said the club will know more Tuesday in regards to Ovechkin's status.

Ovechkin scored two goals Saturday in an 8-1 win over the Blues.
Ovechkin has eight goals in his past seven games to give him 863 in his career. That leaves him 31 shy of Wayne Gretzky's NHL record, a total Ovechkin could hit as soon as March. Ovechkin's first goal in the second period was the game-winner, and his second came on the power play early in the third frame. Ovechkin is roaring to Gretzky's record rather than limping toward it like last year. Enjoy the ride.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Nets first goal of season Saturday
Ovechkin scored a goal in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Devils.
Ovechkin scored the Capitals' third goal midway through the first period, and the star winger finally found the back of the net for the first time in 2024-25 after tallying eight shots over his previous three appearances. Just one goal on 13 shots across four games isn't the normal standard for Ovechkin, though, and the veteran forward is likely to see an uptick in his numbers over the coming weeks following a relatively slow start to his age-39 season.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Reaches 700 career assists
Ovechkin had two assists Tuesday in a 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Ovie assisted on two of the Caps' three goals in a 3:07 span early in the second frame to become the 60th NHL player to reach 700 assists. He's now the sixth player in NHL history with at least 700 goals and the same number of assists. Ovechkin joins Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Jaromir Jagr, Phil Esposito and Marcel Dionne. He has three helpers in two games this season.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Dishes helper
Ovechkin tallied an assist and seven hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
Shockingly, Ovechkin failed to register a shot in Washington's home opener, but he still managed to find the scoresheet. The 39-year-old may need time to shake the rust off after playing sparingly during the preseason. Still, Ovechkin has plenty of motivation entering his 20th NHL season and sits just 42 goals shy of the all-time goal-scoring record currently held by Wayne Gretzky (894).

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Good to play
Ovechkin (undisclosed) is set to play in Wednesday's preseason game against New Jersey, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.
Ovechkin missed the start of training camp due to a minor injury. He had 31 goals and 65 points in 79 regular-season contests last season. Ovechkin is one of the greatest goal scorers in history, but at the age of 39, it's hard to know how much he still has left in the tank for the 2024-25 campaign. If nothing else, the risk of regression is significant.
