Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Provides helper in loss
Ovechkin logged an assist, four shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.
Ovechkin has yet to be held off the scoresheet in the playoffs. His assist came on a Justin Schultz tally in the second period. Ovechkin has a goal, five helpers, 18 shots on net, 24 hits and a minus-2 rating through five postseason outings, showing no lingering effects from an upper-body injury that kept him out of the last three regular-season games.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Vintage sniping in win
Ovechkin scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 6-1 win over Florida in Game 3.
Ovie pushed Washington's lead to 4-1 midway through the third period, firing in a one-timer from -- you guessed it -- the left circle off a pass from Conor Sheary on a power play. It was Ovechkin's first goal this postseason and the 72nd playoff goal of his career, which moves him into 14th all time. Four more playoff goals will tie him with the great Mario Lemieux, who sits 12th all time.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Playing in Game 1
Ovechkin (upper body) will be in the lineup for Game 1 against the Panthers on Tuesday, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Ovechkin returns to action after missing the final three regular-season contests of the year due to his upper-body injury. On the year, the world-class winger racked up 50 goals, hitting that mark for the ninth time in his storied NHL career. One of the greatest goal-scorers of all time, Ovechkin should continue to provide elite-level fantasy production now that he is cleared to play.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Practicing Sunday
Ovechkin (upper body) was on the ice for Sunday's practice, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Ovechkin missed the last three regular-season games after a violent collision into the end boards during April 24's 4-3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs. The 36-year-old has skated with the team in the interim and his presence at Sunday's practice session is certainly progress, but Ovechkin's availability for Game 1 against the Panthers has yet to be established.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Sitting out again Friday
Ovechkin (upper body) will not play Friday against the Rangers, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Ovechkin will miss his third straight game with the injury. Considered a game-time decision heading into Friday, it's a little tricky to gauge the severity of his injury heading into the playoffs given that so many top players around the league are being held out of their respective season finales for rest prior to the postseason. Further information will eventually surface prior to Game 1 regarding Ovechkin's status.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Out Thursday
Ovechkin (upper body) will not play Thursday against the Islanders, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Ovechkin took the morning skate and even participated in some line rushes in his usual spot, but the Capitals are electing to be cautious with their captain and leading scorer. The 36-year-old's availability for Friday's regular-season finale against the Rangers has yet to be determined, but it would not be surprising if the Capitals continued to play it safe with Ovechkin to maximize his chances of being available for Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Traveling with team
Ovechkin (upper body) join the Capitals for their two-game road trip, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
The team didn't provide any additional details regarding Ovechkin's availability for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders but it's certainly a step in the right direction that he is with the team. Whether the world-class forward suits up in either of Washington's final two regular-season contests will likely depend on whether the team can move up in the Metro Division standings.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Officially out Tuesday
Ovechkin (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Ovechkin was unlikely to play despite being deemed a game-time decision. The Capitals will undoubtedly be cautious with their superstar winger with less than a week before the playoffs start, so he should be considered questionable for Thursday's rematch versus the Islanders.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Iffy at best against Islanders
Ovechkin (upper body) is will be a game-time call for Tuesday's matchup with the Islanders, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Although Ovechkin will technically be a game-time decision Tuesday, according to Whyno, the Capitals "won't take any risks," suggesting Ovi may be closer to doubtful than questionable against the Isles. Confirmation on Ovechkin's status likely won't surface until Washington takes the ice for pregame warmups, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Not skating Tuesday
Ovechkin (upper body) did not partake in Tuesday's morning skate and remains day-to-day, Samantha Pell of The Washington Post reports.
Ovechkin appears poised to miss at least one game after sustaining the injury during a 4-3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs on Sunday. Further updates on the 36-year-old winger are pending, but with Washington secure in a playoff spot, it's possible that Ovechkin may not return for the regular season.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Officially labeled day-to-day
Ovechkin is considered day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, the team announced Monday.
Based on his classification, Ovechkin may have avoided a serious injury when he went awkwardly into the boards against Toronto on Sunday. While the 36-year-old winger hasn't been ruled out versus the Islanders on Tuesday, with the playoffs about a week away, the team will no doubt take a cautious approach to reinserting the world-class winger back into the lineup.

Capitals' Alex Ovechkin: Establishes more history Wednesday
Ovechkin scored twice on six shots, dished an assist, went plus-3 and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
The pair of goals gave Ovechkin 50 on the season, the ninth campaign he's reached that mark. That ties a record for 50-goals campaigns, which is also held by Wayne Gretzky and the late Mike Bossy. At 36 years old, Ovechkin also became the oldest player to reach the half-century mark. He achieved the milestone with an April surge -- the superstar has eight tallies and three assists in his last nine games. For the season, the Great Eight is up to 90 points (for the first time since 2009-10), 327 shots on net, 151 hits and a plus-9 rating in 75 appearances.
