Ovechkin skipping NHL All-Star game
Alex Ovechkin is skipping the NHL All-Star Game, a decision he announced a day after getting a three-game suspension from the league for a hit on an opponent.
Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, the leading goal-scorer in the NHL and the league's reigning MVP, left Tuesday night's game against the Bruins after awkwardly crashing into the boards following a hook from Boston defenceman Zdeno Chara.
