Alex Ovechkin was hit in the face with a puck during Thursday morning’s practice. As initially reported by District Sports Page, Ovechkin was struck in the chin by his own deflected shot. He left the ice, bleeding and swearing. A team spokesman reports that Ovechkin will get stitches for the injury. Ovi himself tweeted the photo above.
