Doctors have begun examining Ovechkin after his injury at the NHL game

Captain of the hockey club "Washington Capitals" Alexander Ovechkin is being examined after the injury suffered in the regular season match of the National Hockey League (NHL) against Utah. About this on November 19 said the coach of the capital team Spencer Carbery.

"His condition is being evaluated right now," the coach's words are quoted on the NHL website.

According to Carbery's assessment, details on the hockey player's condition should be expected by tomorrow.

The meeting between the two teams took place earlier in the day. "Washington" won with a score of 6:2. Ovechkin scored two pucks, but in the third period injured his knee in a collision with Utah forward Jack McBain and was forced to leave the ice with the help of another player.

The Russian now has 868 regular-season goals to his credit. Ovechkin has scored 25 points this season. He is 26 pucks away from Wayne Gretzky's record.
