Travis Boyd got a nice present from captain Alex Ovechkin when Ovi set him up for his first NHL goal, but he got an even cuter present from his daughter Hayden afterward.
Kelsey DeGonda, Boyd’s girlfriend, tweeted that she and their daughter Hayden had made a deal together before the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. If Boyd scored that night, they’d bake him a chocolate cake, his favorite.
FIRST NHL GOAL!! My heart is so happy for you!!! Hayden and I made a deal that if you scored tonight, we would bake you a chocolate cake (your favorite)! Then I said, and if he doesn’t score? She said, then we’ll make him a vanilla cake.. she knows you all too well 😂🥳 @Tboyd93

Kelsey posted a picture of Boyd with his cake on her Instagram.

Hayden has motivated Boyd’s scoring before at the AHL level with the Hershey Bears. When Hayden was in the hospital undergoing treatment and recovering for an abscess, Boyd tried to score one goal for her–and ended up scoring four.

Boyd scored his first goal on December 8–and his second and third in the next two games, as he found great chemistry with the Capitals fourth line.
