Update: The Capitals game has been postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak on the Flyers.
The Washington Capitals will finally wear their Reverse Retro jersey tonight at 6 PM against the Philadelphia Flyers. The jersey features the Screaming Eagle on red as well as the team’s old Capitol Dome logo on the shoulder.
The Capitals had the top-selling Reverse Retro jersey in the NHL, selling out of Alex Ovechkin’s sweater in minutes during its initial release.
