Dylan McIlrath grateful for Capitals' support after first multi-point night in NHL at age 32: 'It's just wild that [Ovi] knows who I am'
Briefly

"It's been quite the journey, that's for sure. Obviously, a lot of ups and downs when you get drafted to the Rangers, high pick. You kind of have a vision of what your career, you think, should be. And then that wasn't the case. And I just always had a belief in myself. I mean, there were days, long years in the American League, where you have your doubts. But I just kept believing that I could play at this level at some point in my career. And that's what kept me motivated."
"I kept developing. I came as a free agent, hoping to make the most of this opportunity. I had to fight my way to get back to the NHL, and I think all the struggles have just made me appreciate the game more now that I'm here."
