Alex Ovechkin missed the Caps’ morning skate due to personal reasons. He was then considered a game-time decision. Two hours ago, it looked like Ovechkin wouldn’t play tonight.
As of 5 pm no signs of Alex Ovechkin at Verizon Center. Players generally arrive by 5. #CapitalsTalk

Stan Galiev, the only extra healthy forward on the roster, will dress instead.
Here’s what the lines will look like:
Forward lines at warmup:
65-92-77
21-90-14
25-83-43
53-46-29— Katie Brown (@katiebhockey) October 13, 2015
Hopefully Ovechkin’s personal issues are relatively minor. We’re sending the Captain our best wishes for whatever he’s dealing with.
