Tom Wilson published a rare Instagram post on Tuesday. Wilson celebrated a “great day of work” at BioSteel Camp by posting two photos of himself shirtless.
I think the kids call this a thirst trap.
Nicklas Backstrom returned to home ice on Monday and now there’s another veteran Capital en route to DC.
Early Tuesday morning around 4 AM, Michal Kempny jumped on a flight in Prague, Czech Republic and started his long flight back to Washington.
His girlfriend Nicola published video holding the Capitals defenseman’s hand.
Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom arrived back in town on Monday after an electrifying appearance in Byrnas’s Black and White scrimmage late last week.
According to Tarik El-Bashir’s reporting for The Atletic, Backstrom is the latest star to participate in the Capitals’ informal skates, which already included Evgeny Kuznetsov, TJ Oshie, and John Carlson.
When you picture a professional ballerina, you might think about their grace and elegance. Or, maybe you think about their hard work and preparation that goes into perfecting a performance. TJ Oshie’s daughter (and tiny icon) Leni Oshie might not be a professional ballerina yet, but you can absolutely tell she is well on her way.

Dmitry Orlov lived the life of a jet-setting partygoer on Sunday, first attending a birthday party thrown for Alex Ovechkin’s son in Moscow, before then traveling over 2,000 miles to Novosibirsk to attend an evening party being thrown on Vladimir Tarasenko‘s Day with the Stanley Cup.
Just one year ago, Orlov celebrated his own Day with the Stanley Cup. Ironically, Orlov’s time with the Cup last year was cut short when a travel snafu accidentally sent the Cup to Novosibirsk instead of Orlov’s hometown of Novokuznetsk.
With the Cup correctly in Novosibirsk this time, Orlov had the opportunity to reacquaint himself with his old friend, Stanley.

It has been over seven years since Alex Semin shared the Capitals locker room with Alex Ovechkin, but the two Sashas proved they are still fast friends when, on Sunday, Semin attended the birthday party of Ovechkin’s one-year-old son, Sergei.
Ovechkin, holding Sergei, stood next to Semin, who appeared to be holding his young son, Danil. The pair watched as a troop of six dyed poodles performed tricks at the elaborate birthday party being thrown in Sergei’s honor.

One year ago, Alex Ovechkin and wife Nastya Ovechkina welcomed their son Sergei into the world.
On Sunday, the Ovechkin family celebrated Sergei’s first birthday, posting the first-ever public photo of the smiling baby Sergei. Previously, the Ovechkins had guarded their son’s privacy on social media by only posting photos and videos that did not show their son’s face.
“Happy birthday, our baby!” Alex wrote in his Instagram caption. “Mom and I love you very much, you are our happiness! Be the happiest, healthiest! And Mummy and I will always be there!”
