Swedish defenseman Christian Djoos is one of the best stories of the Caps young season. Saturday night at Rogers Place, he had an unlikely cheering section.
According to The Washington Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan, distant relatives of the Djoos family live near Edmonton, Alberta. During the Caps-Oilers game, Djoos was cheered on by 10-20 members of his family. The crew even held up a sign that said the Christian Djoos #29 Fan Club.
NBC Washington captured the family during a stoppage in play.
Isabelle laid out the whole story here.
I got an email about this. He has some distant relatives here in Edmonton. Kind of an interesting story … https://t.co/r2LXHX7k3B

Djoos will have a cheering section in Rogers Place tonight. That part of the family also came to a Per Djoos game in Edmonton. Pretty cool.

Djoos is expected to have 10-20 members of his "Canadian family" here today. I guess they're his second cousins.

Now all they need are Caps Djoos’ jerseys and they’ll be 💯.
