The Caps won 4-2 in Montreal against Canadiens on Wednesday night, with Devante Smith-Pelly making his scoring debut for Washington. Meanwhile, at Capital One Arena, none other than two-time Grammy winner Ed Sheeran was rocking the red.

Ed Sheeran is wearing a Caps jersey for his encore. Too far for pic.

Sheeran wore the sweater on the second night of a two-night stint in DC, playing back to back concerts at Capital One Area on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Sheeran last performed in DC in 2015, when his concert was attended by Tom Wilson and Nicklas Backstrom. After the show, Wilson gifted Sheeran a sleek custom Caps jersey.
Great time meeting @edsheeran last night and getting him in the right colors for his stay here in DC @verizoncenterpr pic.twitter.com/rUn1oiAzQO

It doesn’t look like that’s the jersey Sheeran wore tonight, but it’s still awesome that he wore one at all. I think the red complements his hair quite nicely.
Meanwhile back at @CapitalOneArena…! #RockTheRed #ALLCAPS @edsheeran pic.twitter.com/uUgzft7jJm
