The Washington Capitals can breathe a little easier.

Alexander Ovechkin is healthy and will be in the lineup on Friday when the team faces the Vancouver Canucks. Ovechkin absorbed a slapshot to the leg and fell to the ice in the final seconds of the Capitals' 5-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday.
