Ovechkin's "terrible" incident

An image was put forward in front of the NHL last Tuesday, it was about All-Star forward Alex Ovechkin's "terrible" incident.

After helping the team get 60 points and 31 goals, in the second period he was attempting to get around the defenseman Zdeno Chara from Boston Bruins,but failed. He lost his balance and lay on the ice for 15 seconds, waiting to be taken care of by the Capitals' training staff. Luckily he got up at last and went to the dressing room. Compared to his injury, it seemed that he had suffured more frustration.

Although he missed the final second period, he eventually started to play in the third period.Ovechkin said he was feeling fine after sliding down on the ice and this was just a hockey moment.
