Ovechkin Suffers ‘Upper Body’ Injury

Ovechkin spoke to the media after tonight’s loss but was less-then-forthcoming in details about the extent of his injury.

Ovechkin: “I can’t tell you how I got hurt. It’s day-to-day. ”

Reporter: “So you don’t think it’s very serious.”

Ovechkin: “I don’t know.”

Reporter: “What is it?”

Ovechkin: “(Laughing) You think I want to tell you?”

Reporter: “Can you tell us kind of where it is?”

Ovechkin: “No I can’t.”

Reporter: “Left? Right? Upper? Lower?”

Ovechkin: “Upper body.”

Speculation seems to be that its an aggravated shoulder of some kind but nothing too serious. Ovechkin is day-to-day until further information is released by the team.
