"Alex Ovechkin is slowly making his way back into the fray at this year's Washington Capitals Training Camp. After leaving the first day of camp with a lower-body injury and missing the following few practices completely, Ovechkin has now skated at MedStar Capitals Iceplex back-to-back days in a no-contact jersey. Just as he did on Tuesday, the Capitals captain departed the ice before Group A got its practice underway, and he is still not listed on the roster for either of their two remaining groups at camp."
"Ovechkin was joined on the ice by Russian-born winger Alexander Suzdalev, who also donned a no-contact jersey after suffering an upper-body injury earlier this week. Suzdalev had been working with Group C at camp before the team's initial roster cuts trimmed practices down to just two groups. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery labeled Ovechkin "day-to-day" when he first spoke about the 40-year-old winger's injury and called Tuesday's skate a step in the right direction."
