Grubauer, who was traded to the Colorado Avalanche last season, is the second former Capital from its 2018 Stanley Cup-winning team to visit MedStar Capitals Iceplex this week. Brooks Orpik, who retired Tuesday, spent the first half of the week watching prospects and exploring what a coaching role would be like.
Grubi first revealed he was in the area on Wednesday when he posted a photo of himself golfing at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland.
