Ovechkin Upgrades Himself to Day-to-Day

Talking with reporters after practice, Alexander Ovechkin has upgraded himself to day-to-day, reports Corey Masisak via Twitter.

“I feel better today, and right now I feel better every day. Probably day-to-day.”

“I just need a couple more days, maybe one week.”

Of course, given Ovechkin’s previous joking with reporters about the amount of time he will miss, we cannot be entirely sure that he will return until he steps out onto the ice for a game. Ovechkin did note, however, that were this the playoffs, he would be playing.

“Well, I just try to joke with you guys. Couple days ago I say a month. Today I say day-to-day.”

If you weren’t’ already aware, Alexander Ovechkin marches to the beat of his own drum.
