Alex Ovechkin will miss his second consecutive game Sunday as the Washington Capitals visit the New York Rangers to complete a home-and-home series, head coach Spencer Carbery announced.
Ovechkin, who is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, had a six-game point streak end when he was absent for Saturday’s 3-2 win in Washington.
The 38-year-old Ovechkin has a team-leading 27 points (eight goals and 19 assists) in 39 games this season.
The Capitals (20-14-6) are sixth in the Metropolitan Division with 46 points and return home to play the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday following their trip to New York.
