Craig Laughlin, the Capitals' longtime color commentator, is set to return to the broadcast booth for the first time in over two months after undergoing heart surgery. He had surgery to fix a bicuspid aortic valve and a blocked artery in January. Prior to the game against the Buffalo Sabres, Capitals players and coach shared heartfelt welcome-back messages, highlighting the camaraderie and support within the team. Team captain Alex Ovechkin, among others, expressed excitement for Laughlin's return, showcasing the close-knit nature of the organization as they look forward to his contributions once again.
Alex Ovechkin: Locker, welcome back, my man. Miss you, see you.
John Carlson: Welcome back, Locker, we missed you. Wouldn't have ever counted you out, bud.
Spencer Carbery: Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to see you, Locker. Looking forward to it.
Dylan Strome: So happy you're back Locker. Can't wait to hear you on the call on Sunday.
