After going viral, Keelan Moxley was a special guest during the Capitals Game Five at Capital One Arena, Saturday.
From meeting owner Ted Leonsis before puck drop, sitting in complimentary seats on the glass, and receiving a signed stick from Brett Connolly, Keelan certainly had a big night.
It was made even more special after the overtime win.

Nicklas Backstrom’s overtime game-winning goal in Game Five set off a raucous and insane celebration along the corner boards.
And I have great news. The Capitals got video of it.
In a stroke of mercy, Nicklas Backstrom ended Game Five with a tip-in, securing sudden victory and pushing Columbus to the brink of elimination.
Use this space to breathe a sigh of relief. Phew.
Since replacing Philipp Grubauer in net during Game Two, Braden Holtby has found his old form, posting a 1.33 goals against and a .940 save percentage going into Game Five.
Holtby was beat three times during Game Five in regulation, but he saved some of his sickest stops for the third period, forcing overtime.
The Capitals have scored on the power play in every game of their first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Saturday during Game Five, TJ Oshie scored on a masterful deflection to give the Caps a lead going into the third period.
Goof-ups have plagued the early part of Game Five’s second period, with both teams scoring goals on plays that hockey analysts call, “aw dude they totally beefed it.”
Viral sensation Keelan Moxley was an honored guest of the Washington Capitals during Game Five.
Keelan and her family met with Capitals majority owner Ted Leonsis before puck drop and Uncle Ted gave her a very sweet surprise.
After allowing an embarrassing shorthanded goal, the Capitals have struck back with a weird one off the enchanted hockey stick of Nicklas Backstrom with a kismetic bounce off Columbus goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
Alex Ovechkin predicted that his team would be returning home for Game Five with the series tied at two wins apiece and his prediction came true when the Washington Capitals downed the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1 at Nationwide Arena in Game Four. Ovi can see the future. I cant remember any other win guarantee in the past that went wrong, it never happened, don’t know what you’re talking about.
The Capitals out-shot the Blue Jackets 33 to 24, but were out-attempted at five-on-five 50 to 45.
