A first look at the Capitals returning to the ice for small group workouts (Video)

Four Washington Capitals players returned to the ice for a small group workout on Thursday. It’s the first time the Caps have skated at MedStar Capitals Iceplex since March.

The Capitals posted a short and heavily-edited video on their social media platforms Thursday afternoon. To keep players safe and minimize possible exposure to the coronavirus, media are not allowed into the facility to cover practice or interview players, per the NHL’s Phase 2 protocol.

The slo-mo video shows:

  • Evgeny Kuznetsov dropping a bucket of pucks onto the ice
  • Lars Eller, John Carlson, and Evgeny Kuznetsov skating
  • Braden Holtby making a glove save
  • John Carlson giving goofy elbow bumps

So yey. Capitals hockey is back. Sorta.
