The Washington Capitals are being represented at the 2018 NHL All-Star Game by two of the franchise’s most beloved players.

Alex Ovechkin, who was voted in as captain of the Metropolitan Division All-Stars, is in Tampa participating in his franchise-record ninth NHL All-Star Game while goaltender Braden Holtby has been nominated to three-straight games.

Sunday, before the three-on-three tournament began, the Russian machine and the Holtbeast took a photo together for Capitals social media.

The team also posted a photo with the two players posing with Capitals head coach Barry Trotz, the Metropolitan Division head coach, and the Caps equipment staff.

The Caps representatives also took a team photo with all the Metropolitan Division All-Stars.

For this year’s event, the Metro team is wearing silver NHL jerseys with neon yellow stripes.

In the locker room, Ovechkin is sitting between Metro rivals Claude Giroux and Kris Letang… and they’re actually getting along.

The same goes for heated rivals Ovechkin and Crosby, who are expected to play on the same line during the game.
