"Alex Ovechkin returned to the ice at Capitals Training Camp on Tuesday morning for the first time since leaving the first day of camp early with a lower-body injury. Ovechkin, donning a light blue no-contact jersey, briefly skated at MedStar Capitals Iceplex but departed before Group A got their practice underway. He was not listed on the roster for either of their two groups remaining at camp."
"The 40-year-old winger missed the last four skates overall. Monday was a team off day. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery previously labeled Ovechkin as "day-to-day," and Ovechkin himself was unconcerned about his ailment when he met with the media last week. Outside of Ovechkin's quick twirl on the ice, Martin Fehervary and Justin Sourdif, who began camp in their own no-contact jerseys, took to the ice in regular practice sweaters. The Capitals also announced that Nic Dowd would miss Tuesday's skate for personal reasons."
