In a peculiar turn of events during a game against the Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals' goalie Logan Thompson was distracted by nachos tossed onto the ice just before a goal was scored against him. Capitals coach Spencer Carbery expressed disbelief at the incident, noting it was unprecedented in NHL history. Despite the distraction, the Capitals managed to secure a 3-2 victory. According to the NHL's rules, objects thrown onto the ice should stop gameplay if they interfere, but the nachos did not interfere with the play, allowing it to continue as normal. Thompson accepted responsibility for the moment.
"That's a first. We just talked about that in the coach's office. I don't think I've ever seen a nachos-on-the-ice National Hockey League game."
