Ovechkin’s wife posts gruesome photo of his leg injury, Like many players who put it all on the line for a shot at the Stanley Cup, the Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin played through two brutal sounding injuries.
Ovechkin confirmed to reporters on Friday that he was hampered by injuries to his knee and hamstring, none of which will require surgery, but probably still hurt a whole heck of a lot.
His wife Nastasiya Ovechkina posted a photo of his hamstring injury on her Instagram story on Friday.

Yikes, that looks painful.
During locker clean out, Ovechkin said he received pain numbing injections for a couple of games during the series.
"You don't want to play with any sort of injury obviously," Ovechkin said. "Of course you don't feel 100 percent, you don't [have] strength in your leg, but you play through that, you know? Some players play with broken hand, broken leg, and you know, because it's the playoffs. You have to sacrifice your body to get success and get the result."
