Breaking: Ovechkin leaves game a bloody mess!

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin had no puck luck on Saturday night... The Caps star player got hit by the puck as he tried to block a shot for Minnesota Wild's Chris Stewart during the second period.

The puck rode up Ovi's stick and ended up hitting hard in the face. The captain had to be taken out of the game for repairs.
