Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin suffered what the team called an upper-body injury in Sunday night’s 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs when he crashed hard into the boards in the third period after tripping on Toronto goalie Erik Kallgren's stick.

The injury leaves Ovechkin’s status uncertain with the NHL playoffs beginning in just over a week.
