Alex Ovechkin opens morning skate again with ‘hot lap’ around Amalie Arena
On Monday, ahead of the Capitals decisive Game Six against the Pittsburgh Penguins, captain Alex Ovechkin took over the traditional “hot lap” from Jay Beagle at morning skate.
According to NBC Sports Washington’s Tarik El-Bashir, Ovi’s hot lap is now “officially a thing.” At Amalie Arena Friday, the Russian machine once again kicked off morning skate with a lap around the rink, as the rest of the Capitals cheered and tapped their sticks.
