Washington Capitals Coach Lavilette Says Ovechkin’s Condition Has Improved
Washington Capitals head coach Peter Laviolette spoke about how team captain Alexander Ovechkin is recovering from injury. This was reported on the website of the National Hockey League (NHL).
According to the specialist, on the morning of Saturday, April 30, the player’s condition improved. “Hopefully the positive momentum will continue,” added Laviolette. The coach did not name the exact timing of the striker’s return to the ice.
