Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals Just Chilling for Week 17 Fantasy NHL

The Washington Capitals were clearly looking forward to the time off as they seemed to take some time off from fantasy heading into the events.

Ilya Kovalchuk continued his horrific season.

Which other players might worry you heading towards the fantasy playoffs? Is it possible that the star-studded Capitals squad could hurt you?

It’s been a tough season for the Rangers. Last week, Lundqvist had an abysmal 4.11 goal against average with a terrible .765 save percentage. He failed to record a win.

Ah, another Capitals player who failed to produce. Green took four shots on goal, did not score or dish out an assist and was minus-1.

Kovalchuk is back home on the cold list after a unjustified hiatus. Kovalchuk was minus-2, did not score a goal or tally an assist. At this point, Kovalchuk’s 2010-2011 season is strictly a comedy act.

Looks like Ovechkin was too busy looking ahead to All-Star weekend to worry about fantasy. He was neutral in plus/minus, did not score and did not tally an assist.
