Alex Alexeyev, a defenseman for the Capitals, returned to practice sporting a full bubble face shield following significant dental work from a high stick injury during Game 1. Having lost several teeth, he humorously acknowledged keeping them at home. Although the adjustment to visibility presented a challenge, he expressed enthusiasm for playoff hockey, highlighting the exciting atmosphere and fan engagement. Despite discomfort with eating, Alexeyev confirmed he feels ready for Game 2 against the Canadiens, though Coach Spencer Carbery has not yet confirmed his lineup status.
Alexeyev noted, 'Yeah, [I lost] three on top and three on the bottom got chipped a little bit. I have them at home.'
