Original story: The Washington Nationals took on the San Francisco Giants on Saturday and it appears they had a very special guest in the crowd. Former Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby, or his lookalike, attended the game.

Nic Dowd is a familiar kind of player. He’s a imperfect depth guy who wins faceoffs, plays very tough minutes, scores timely goals, and has a dogged work ethic. Hmm. Is there a word for that?
