BREAKING: Spencer Carbery in Horrific Car Crash – Shocking Details Inside….
After being high-sticked in the mouth by Jake Evans during Monday night’s Game 1 against the Montreal Canadiens, Alex Alexeyev exited the game for a short while.
“Should be good to go for tomorrow,” Carbery said. “Late night for him, but he should be good.” Alexeyev’s status is now doubly important after the Capitals announced defenseman Martin Fehervary will miss the remainder of the playoffs after undergoing knee surgery. Alexeyev replaced Fehervary in the final game of the regular season and kept his spot against the Habs to start the first-round series.
The 25-year-old Russian rearguard skated on the team’s third pair with Trevor van Riemsdyk. The Capitals excelled with him over the boards at five-on-five, seeing positive differentials in shot attempts (+6), scoring chances (+7), and high-danger chances (+5). Anthony Beauvillier also scored his second-period goal with Alexeyev on the ice.
Alexeyev was removed from the game by the high stick after 14:01 of ice time. He recorded two individual shot attempts, two hits, three shot blocks, and one shot on goal.
