In the middle of a six game losing streak, the Caps are in a tough stretch, playing their next five games on the road. Being away from home, though, has it upsides. This weekend, Washington is hosting their annual mentors trip, with players allowed to bring one guest to New Jersey and Montreal. The group is made up mostly of dads, who will get to see what it’s like to be an NHL player for a few days.
“It’s been awesome,” Tom Wilson told Monumental Network. “I think it’s been refreshing for the guys having all their dads around, having them watch practice. It’s a lot of fun.”
Below, check out some more photos from today.
