The Great Eight played just 39 seconds against the New York Rangers in his attempt to come back from the injury on May 3rd after missing four straight games. Ovechkin was a full participant in Monday’s practice and skated on the weekend. With the playoffs right around the corner and the Capitals locked into the second seed in the East Division, they may choose to rest their captain for the postseason.
