Now Nate Schmidt has even more to smile about.
Thursday, the former Capitals defenseman proposed to his longtime girlfriend Allie Reinke while taking a walk in the woods.
“What a day. The girl of my dreams said yes!!” Schmidt wrote on Instagram.
Two days after watching his season end prematurely against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin and his grotesquely bruised thigh attended Game Six of the Washington Wizards’ second-round series against the Boston Celtics. Ovechkin nabbed courtside seats and was joined at the game by his wife Nastya Ovechkina, his older brother Mikhail Ovechkin, and his close friend Gus.
The Wizards, who were down 3-2 and facing elimination, won 92-91 after John Wall nailed a clutch three over Avery Bradley with 3.5 seconds left.
