Alex Ovechkin Is Out Week to Week with Lower Body Injury

[@Dr.StefanWilson]

UPDATE: Alex Ovechkin is out 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula as a result of the contact to his lower left leg.

Great analysis! Im a kinesiologiest (by education, i dont practice) and wanted to see something like this. The analysis, not the hit of course! Just one side note: the hit happened against Utah not the Jets. Keep up the great work doc!

Thank-you for watching!! Yes, Utah. Still not used to seeing those jerseys.

​@@Dr.StefanWilsonI'm happy it's just a fractured fib and not ligament damage. If my memory from university serves me correctly, that's not a weight bearing bone. I see he isn't even wearing a cast. It (hopefully) should heal up really soon. An Lcl or ACL injury would have been a lot more devastating, or the plate.
