""My warrior of a wife had our third daughter while we were on the ice," he said. "Really proud of her. It's tough. You obviously want to be there for the birth of your children. (We) didn't know it was coming this soon, but can't wait to go see her.""
""So Sutton Kimberley Strome, my third daughter, was born at 7:30 pm today. It was really quick. She felt it two hours before, and it just happened. There was nothing I could do to get there. So super proud of her, and just definitely playing with a lot of emotions.""
""I heard before the game and talked about what I should do," he said. "I mean, there was nothing I could do to get back. Just really proud of her. It's not easy. We go on the road a lot. And women go through a lot, and their bodies change so much, and for her to do that herself is unbelievable.""
Dylan Strome learned before warmups that his wife Tayler was in the hospital as labor started early. Sutton Kimberley Strome, the couple's third daughter, was born at 7:30 p.m. after a rapid labor that began about two hours earlier. Strome remained in the Capitals' lineup for the road game because the 500-mile distance prevented a timely return to Washington. He received updates via video call and was unable to be present for the birth. Strome expressed devastation at missing the moment, praised Tayler's courage in laboring alone, and described playing while managing intense emotions.
