Ovechkin, Capitals seek second straight win

Feb 1, 2009 - 12:02 PM Ottawa (17-23-7) at Washington (31-15-4), 12:30 p.m. EST

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- All-Star Alex Ovechkin overcame an injury scare, while his team hurdled another tough test.

The reigning Hart Trophy winner and the Washington Capitals look to earn another victory when they host the Ottawa Senators on Sunday.

Ovechkin scored twice within a 76-second span late in the third period Saturday, lifting the Capitals to a 4-2 victory over the slumping Detroit Red Wings.

Ovechkin took over the NHL lead with 33 goals. He also ranks third in points with 63.

The Russian gave the Capitals a scare when he crashed into the boards in the second period of Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins. He suffered a stinger that caused him to miss practice the following day.

Ottawa, which has alternated wins and losses over the last four games, is coming off a 1-0 setback to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

After this contest, the Senators start a three-game homestand, which begins Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings.
