Capitals fans are understandably worried.

“Ooh man! Not good. Hoping it isn’t a serious injury for Ovi,” one fan tweeted.

“Declare war on Canada by morning,” another fan joked on Twitter.

“Sick. To. My. Stomach. Genuinely can’t remember a time an injury has felt so devastating,” one fan added on Twitter.
