Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin jumped back into the lineup with two points in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout win against the Sabres. After missing one game with a lower-body injury, the veteran sniper collected a power-play assist in the first period and scored his 37th goal of the season in the third. Ovechkin has been doing everything he can to keep the team in the playoff race, tallying five goals and five assists in his last eight games. The scoring surge has made him a point-per-game player again, with Ovechkin having picked up 64 points across 63 games. He will be desperate to avoid hitting the golf course early and should stay highly productive for as long as there is a chance to grab a postseason berth.

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (lower body) is a game-time call for a second consecutive contest Wednesday. He has picked up a lower-body injury and it forced Ovechkin to miss Tuesday's clash with the Rangers, but the Capitals captain could be back for Wednesday's game against Buffalo. Conor Sheary skated as Ovechkin's replacement on the first line Tuesday. The 30-year-old went scoreless for the 15th time in 16 games, so Washington head coach Peter Laviolette might switch things up again if Ovechkin can't return Wednesday.
