Two-time reigning league MVP Alex Ovechkin appears set to return from his injury layoff when the Washington Capitals visit the New York Rangers on Tuesday night.

Asked after Monday morning's practice whether Ovechkin would be back in the lineup, coach Bruce Boudreau told reporters: "As of today, he's is."

Ovechkin sustained an upper-body injury against Columbus on Nov. 1. The Southeast Division-leading Capitals have won four of six games since he was hurt.

Ovechkin has 14 goals and nine assists this season. He says he's ready to go, but would wait to see how he's feeling Tuesday.

FLYERS 3, DEVILS 2: At Philadelphia, Darroll Powe, Scott Hartnell, and James van Riemsdyk scored goals as the Philadelphia Flyers edged New Jersey to snap the Devils' eight game winning streak. Zach Parise scored in a goal-mouth scramble with 0.6 seconds left in regulation and David Clarkson also had a goal for the Devils, who fell one win short of tying the NHL record of 10 road victories to start the season, set by the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres.

ISLANDERS 4, BRUINS 1: At Boston, Matt Moulson scored two goals and Dwayne Roloson stopped 28 shots to lead New York. John Tavares also scored to make it 3-1 — a goal that was originally credited as Moulson's third of the game before being corrected on review — and Trent Hunter added an empty-netter with 49 seconds left.

BLUE JACKETS 3, OILERS 2, SO: At Columbus, Ohio, Jakub Voracek scored the winner in the fourth round of the shootout to lift Columbus past Edmonton. After Voracek's goal, Mathieu Garon stopped Gilbert Brule to secure Columbus' fourth win in five games.
