Alex Ovechkin (shoulder) appears to be set to return to the Capitals' lineup on Tuesday night.
Washington was guarded in making any guarantees of the Great Eight's return, but it is a highly likely that he will be on the ice in his first game back since Nov. 1 due to a shoulder injury. "It's going to be a pretty cool moment for me, especially since I've been practicing so hard with coaches," Ovechkin said. "I just want to come back and play hockey because I see my teammates playing and they have fun. It was a boring time for me to go to the arena and just take some treatments. Finally it's over, but again, we're going to see how it's going to be in warm-ups." It appears as though he will be all systems go for Tuesday's game. Get him back in your lineup ASAP.
