	<title>Ovechkin&#39;s ready; Naslund returns in Sweden</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-s-ready-naslund-returns-in-sweden/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; From the Caps&amp;#8217; morning skate today: Alex Ovechkin has tested the ice and the body at the Garden this morning and everything appears set for the superstar&amp;#8217;s return to the Capitals&amp;#8217; lineup for tonight&amp;#8217;s game, even if no one wants to make it official. For a guy who plays the game with as much enthusiasm as anyone in the sport, he may begin tonight&amp;#8217;s game as if he&amp;#8217;s been shot out of a cannon - which is actually what worries Caps coach Bruce Boudreau. 

 &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m excited to come back,&amp;#8221; Ovechkin said after taking the morning skate at MSG. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s going to be a pretty cool moment. I&amp;#8217;m just excited to come back and play hockey, not practice.&amp;#8221; 

 &amp;#8220;I know he&amp;#8217;s missed it because he loves playing,&amp;#8221; Boudreau said. &amp;#8220;When he plays in this building he gets pretty excited. I&amp;#8217;m just afraid of him doing too much too early.&amp;#8221; 

 Ovechkin has missed the last six games with a strained left shoulder, the longest&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nhl/"&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nhl/new_york_rangers/"&gt;New York Rangers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nhl/alexander_ovechkin/"&gt;Alexander Ovechkin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Ovechkin ready for &#39;cool moment&#39;</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-ready-for-cool-moment/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Have a seat, folks. We&#39;ve got a lot to talk about this morning. First off, Alex Ovechkin was the first player on the ice here at Madison Square Garden and treated the short session as though he&#39;s going to play. Afterward, both he and Coach Bruce Boudreau stopped just short of guaranteeing that he&#39;ll play, but I&#39;m not even sure they believe that there&#39;s a chance the two-time MVP won&#39;t be in the lineup tonight. &quot;Unless something negative happens this afternoon and I don&#39;t get the okay from [head athletic trainer Greg Smith] to play him, then I think he would be back,&quot; said Boudreau, who can become the fifth Washington coach to reach 100 wins tonight (and the fastest to reach the milestone). Ovechkin added: &quot;I&#39;m kind of excited to come back. It&#39;s a pretty good feeling. It&#39;s going to be a pretty cool moment for me. I just

	<description>&lt;p&gt;Two-time reigning league MVP Alex Ovechkin appears set to return from his injury layoff when the Washington Capitals visit the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Asked after Monday morning&#39;s practice whether Ovechkin would be back in the lineup, coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters: &quot;As of today, he&#39;s is.&quot;

Ovechkin sustained an upper-body injury against Columbus on Nov. 1.

	<description>&lt;p&gt;Coach Bruce Boudreau was coy when asked whether Alex Ovechkin would be back in the lineup tomorrow, saying: &quot;As of today, he&#39;s in.&quot; So it appears that as long as there aren&#39;t any setbacks, he should return from a 16-day layoff against the Rangers tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden. Here&#39;s a video of Ovechkin from this morning&#39;s practice at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-on-top-line/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s been a couple of weeks since we&#39;ve seen this: Alex Ovechkin practicing on the top line. There&#39;s no official word on whether the two-time MVP will return for tomorrow&#39;s game at Madison Square Garden, but this is the first time since Ovechkin was hurt on Nov. 1 that he&#39;s been assigned to a line in practice. Coach Bruce Boudreau, meantime, has shuffled his forward combos this morning at Prudential Center. Ovechkin-Backstrom-Clark. Laich-Morrison-Semin Fleischmann-Perreault-Bradley Laing-Steckel-Fehr. No sign of Boyd Gordon (back) or Milan Jurcina (lower body). I&#39;ll have more later.

	<description>&lt;p&gt;NEWARK, N.J. -- Capitals superstar Alex Ovechkin will sit out at least one more game with his upper-body strain.

	<title>Ovechkin out tonight in New Jersey</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-out-tonight-in-new-jersey/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Alex Ovechkin will miss his sixth straight game tonight, Coach Bruce Boudreau confirmed moments ago. And although the team still hasn&#39;t announced when he&#39;ll return, all indications are that No. 8 will be back in the lineup Tuesday at Madison Square Garden (after getting tomorrow off and a full practice Monday). &quot;He&#39;s out, but he&#39;s very close to playing,&quot; Boudreau said. &quot;He&#39;s not ready.&quot; Boudreau wouldn&#39;t say what his lineup will look like minus Ovechkin and Mike Knuble against the Devils at Prudential Center, but we&#39;ll get a clue during warmups. So I&#39;ll post the lines and pairings then.

	<title>Ovechkin: &#39;You never know&#39;</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-you-never-know/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Alex Ovechkin skated hard at the end of the morning skate with the assistant coaches, which usually is a sure sign he won&#39;t be in the lineup tonight. But Ovechkin insisted that a decision on his status against the Devils has not been made --yet. &quot;Well, you never know [but] I didn&#39;t talk to Bruce,&quot; Ovechkin said, referring, of course, to Coach Bruce Boudreau. &quot;He just tell me be ready. So I [take] morning skate, and I&#39;ll go right now eat and sleep. And maybe I&#39;m going to play today.&quot; Whether he plays tonight or not, it&#39;s clear that he looks ready to go. It&#39;s unclear what the lineup will look like, and because Boudreau did not attend the morning skate, reporters didn&#39;t get any hints, either. But it does look like Jose Theodore will be the starting goaltender and that Boyd Gordon will suit up. Boudreau is expected to

	<title>Ovechkin will be game-time decision (updated)</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/ovechkin-will-be-game-time-decision-updated/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Alex Ovechkin will take the morning skate, then is expected to take the pre-game warm-up tonight at Prudential Center. If all goes well, the two-time MVP and team officials will then decide whether he&#39;ll return from a five-game absence and face the Devils. The Caps are 4-1-0 without Ovechkin, but they could certainly use the boost tonight with Mike Knuble out because of a broken finger. Perhaps Ovechkin will shed some more light on the subject after the skate. So stay tuned. Update:At one point during the morning skate, Ovechkin looked up at reporters and yelled playfully, &quot;I&#39;m playing tonight.&quot; But he has remained on the ice for some extra skating with the assistant coaches -- an activity usually reserved for players who will be scratches.
