Captain, dressed as Santa, greeted the Capitals, who were wearing ugly holiday suits, pregame

The Washington Capitals’ matchup against the Tampa Bay Lighting Friday is the team’s final home game before the Christmas holiday. So the team went all out.

Captain, the team’s dog, looked pawsitively jolly, nailing the Kris Kringle vibe with a red Santa suit and hat. Meanwhile, many of the Caps’ players wore ugly holiday suits.

These photos and videos were the adorable result.

This is the holiday dog content I crave.

Check out Captain reuniting with Ovi.
