Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is "week to week" with a lower leg injury, the team announced on Tuesday.
Ovechkin will be evaluated further on Wednesday in D.C., according to the Capitals.
Ovechkin suffered the injury on Monday during the Capitals' 6-2 road win over the Utah Hockey Club.
The injury occurred during a third-period collision with Utah's Jack McBain. Ovechkin attempted to skate off the injury, but struggled to put weight on his left leg and eventually left for the locker room.
Ovechkin was in the middle of a goalscoring tear that saw him find the back of the net five times in the Capitals' last two games.
