"John Carlson, Ryan Leonard, and Brandon Duhaime participated in a pickup game with Carlson's children and other friends this afternoon. And they had a special guest watching closely: Alex Ovechkin. In a video shot by RMNB's Katie Adler, you can hear Ovechkin wildly banging on the glass in support of his Capitals teammates, who appeared to have just scored on the kids. You gotta keep them humble, you know? Notably, Ovechkin was hidden off to the side behind a column, wearing an all-red sweatsuit and black slides."
"The Washington Capitals are in the middle of one of their busiest stretches of the year, playing nine games in 16 days. One would think the Capitals would want to limit how much time they spend at the rink, but Sunday, after practice, some of the team's regulars stayed for an extra session on the ice. Sunday's scrimmage on the ice was just the latest high-stakes youth game attended by Capitals players this season."
The Washington Capitals are playing nine games in 16 days. After a practice, several regulars stayed for an extra on-ice session and held a pickup game with players' children and friends. John Carlson, Ryan Leonard, and Brandon Duhaime participated in the pickup game while Alex Ovechkin watched from the glass, banging on the barrier in support when the adults scored. Ovechkin remained out of sight behind a column in a red sweatsuit and black slides. The scrimmage continues a pattern of Capitals players attending youth games, including Ovechkin watching his son Sergei, with teammates cheering from the bench.
