While Ovechkin remains at home, the Capitals remain at the top of his mind. Tom Wilson shared a heartwarming text message Ovi sent to the team group chat before practice according to Sammi Silber, Washington beat reporter.
Even though Ovechkin is dealing with the passing of his father, this proves, the Capitals are just as much a part of his family.
Hopefully, Ovechkin takes all the time he needs to be with his family before he tries to come back. Family is the most important thing, bar none.
