After cuddling on a couch for photos Saturday night, the Capitals’ Russian 5 are now taking their talents to TikTok.
The talented hockey players were adorably led by Esenia Kuznetsov, who posted the video to her TikTok page and was later re-posted by Ilya Samsonov. There is so much happening here.

Washington Capitals players Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, and Tom Wilson brought their families together for a special dinner and hang out together on Sunday. And yes, the pups were included.
Very very good doggos Blake Ovechkin and Halle Wilson hung out for the very first time.
Kuzy The Goalie is back, you guys.
During Thursday’s practice, the Russian forward shed his responsibilities at center to jump in goal without actual goalie gear. What could go wrong?
Evgeny Kuznetsov spoke about hockey, his family, and giving up video games in a new interview with the Capitals sponsored by Oscar Mayer.
Kuzy, who’s “so excited” to be playing hockey again, has apparently retired from playing video games – though I am personally very skeptical.
John Carlson was recently a guest on Scott Van Pelt’s podcast and he told one heck of a story about Alex Ovechkin.
During a past road trip, Carlson brought the team over to one of his relative’s houses for a team dinner. Ovechkin and his, uh, juvenile palate appears to have offended Carlson’s aunt.
