One of the things that has made Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin one of the most popular players in the world is his willingness to put his body on the line, and use it as a weapon.

On Wednesday night Ovechkin did just that, using his body to deliver punishment on his opponent, Buffalo Sabres forward Tyler Ennis, who immediately showed the effects of the hit. Ennis may be partially to blame for how bad the hit actually was, his attempt to turn away from the hit appeared to have played a role in his injury.

To Ennis credit he stayed in the play, and attempted to deliver a hit of his own despite the injury, but he would eventually be forced back to the locker room and was ruled out with an upper body injury.
