PITTSBURGH — Police say they've traced an Internet death threat made against Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin to a 17-year-old boy.

Pittsburgh Lt. Kevin Kraus said the boy lives in Chambersburg, which is about 125 miles east-southeast of Pittsburgh. Kraus said state police have talked to the boy, but no charges were immediately filed.

The boy's name wasn't released because he's a juvenile.

The posting on a hockey message board read, "I'm killing Ovechkin. I'll go to jail. I don't care anymore."

The Capitals and Penguins play Game 4 in Pittsburgh tonight. The series continues in Washington with Game 5 Saturday night.
