-Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin opted to not attend the All-Star game declairing: “My heart is not there. I got suspended, so why I have to go there?. I love the game, it’s a great event, I love to be there but I’m suspended. I don’t want to be a target. I feel I’m not deserving to be there right now. I got suspended, I have to be suspended, so that’s why I give up my roster [spot].”
