A night after having Joe Flacco and Evgeny Kuznetsov in the house for the Wizards-Lakers game, two local sports figures were at Capital One Arena for the Caps-Penguins game.
Redskins running back Chris Thompson, wearing a number twenty-five Caps jersey, sat in the lower bowl with his family.
It was his first hockey game.
