Jake the 🐍 is back!
Wednesday afternoon, Vitek Vanecek posted to his Instagram Story showing that both he and his close friend Jakub Vrana are back in DC. Vrana will soon join star players like Braden Holtby, TJ Oshie, John Carlson, Nicklas Backstrom, and Evgeny Kuznetsov who have been participating in informal skates at MedStar Capitals Iceplex over the last few weeks.
I dig the Darth Vader look.
The Capitals tweeted four photos on Tuesday that showed that Carl Hagelin, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Pheonix Copley have also returned stateside to get back into the mix.
