Good news indeed

 Just like Versus said, "Good news Alex is back", and indeed it is. Caps got 1 point, but if they'd win and lose Ovechkin, it would be much much worse. Alex got one assist, Russian machine never break, what can you say.

BOSTON -- Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, the leading goal-scorer in the NHL and the league's reigning MVP, left Tuesday night's game against the Bruins in the second period and returned for the third after awkwardly crashing into the boards following a hook from Boston defenseman Zdeno Chara.

When Alex returned, camera showed Chara talking to him, it seemed like he apologized for the hook. Obviously Chara didn't want any harm to Ovechkin.

Update:
Corey Masisak, TWT:

*Alex Ovechkin is fine. A team official said he had a stinger and it was a problem for about 15 minutes. There appeared to be no sign of it impeding him in the third period or overtime.

“No,” Ovechkin said when asked if it was a scary moment. “It was just hockey moment – it is OK.”
