In this Oct. 1, 2009, photo, Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin smiles after the Capitals defeated the Boston Bruins in an NHL hockey game in Boston. Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau says he hopes Ovechkin won't be sidelined more than two weeks with an upper-body strain. Boudreau spoke after Tuesday's practice, Nov. 3. The NHL's two-time MVP did not take part but was more optimistic, saying maybe he'll come back this weekend. (AP Photo/Winslow Townson)
