Get well, Jamie!

Jamie Heward was also around the locker room this morning and went through a light workout. He said he went about seven minutes on the bike to try to get his heart rate up a bit and see how he reacts tonight and again tomorrow.

Heward said he’s had just about symptom possible with a concussion, but the headaches are gone, the nausea is gone and he’s getting back to a normal feeling with the exception of continued memory loss, which he described as “disturbing’’.

Heward said he has seen the hit from Washington’s Alex Ovechkin, which resulted in Heward taken off the ice on a stretcher on Jan. 1, and Heward’s feeling today is basically the same as it was three weeks ago - it’s not a dirty hit.

Heward said he has watched it a few times and believes that he put his head down that helped put him in a vulnerable position. He said that if he had stayed up straight, he feels Ovechkin’s elbow would have hit him on the shoulder driving his upper body into the boards instead of his head being driven into glass.
