Washington Capitals sniper Alexander Ovechkin had a bit of a scare at practice Monday when he fell awkwardly and had to be helped back to the dressing room in order to get his leg looked at. According to NHL.com writer Tom Gulitti, who was in attendance, Ovechkin could not put any weight on his leg.

Luckily for Caps' fans, the goal-scoring machine returned a short while later and started taking part in a team scrimmage once again.

Once the practice ended, Ovechkin spoke with Tarik El-Bashir, who covers the Capitals for The Athletic. Ovechkin told El-Bashir his leg is ok, and added the previous night he fell off his bike, which led to the scrape you can see on the bridge of his nose in the video. Ovechkin has apparently had a rough couple of days!
