Alex Ovechkin is making strides in his recovery from a fractured left fibula, as he skated lightly during a Washington Capitals practice. However, he is expected to remain out for another 2-4 weeks, according to the team's recovery timeline.

Ovechkin's injury interrupted his impressive start to the season, where he was leading the NHL in goals and closing in on Wayne Gretzky's career record. Despite his absence, the Capitals have found success, winning four straight games and leading the Eastern Conference.
