The Washington Capitals lost to the Colorado Avalanche 6-3 on Monday, but it was a special game for two Caps dads in particular.
Sergei Ovechkin and Kirill Orlov attended their first hockey game with mom!
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin turned 34 years-old on Tuesday but celebrated his birthday with his family, friends, and teammates the very next night.
Ovechkin had a large private dinner after the Capitals defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in a very nice win at Capital One Arena. Ovechkin and his wife Nastya posted videos to their Instagram Story of the moment when Ovi was given a birthday cake. He smiled sheepishly as everyone sang him Happy Birthday in Russian.
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin turned 34 on Tuesday and he got an extra cute birthday surprise at the Caps practice facility.
One-year-old Sergei Ovechkin was at MedStar Capitals Iceplex with mom, Nastya, to watch the Blue Group’s Training Camp session. Wearing a Capitals baby jersey emblazoned with Ovi Jr and the number 8 on the back, Sergei held up a Happy Birthday balloon along the glass – one of three balloons the family brought to the rink.
After an eventful Monday morning practice which featured an apparent injury, then a machine-like recovery, Alex Ovechkin proved he was feeling fine by returning to the rink just a few hours later to do some off-ice workouts with his personal trainer, Pavel.
He also brought along his one-year-old son, Sergei, for a tour of MedStar Capitals Iceplex. As documented by wife Nastya, Alex stopped and pointed at a photo of himself and Nicklas Backstrom holding up the Stanley Cup.
“Papa, Backy, and Stanley Cup,” Ovechkin said as he twirled his son towards the poster

Over the summer, Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin and wife Nastya Ovechkina celebrated the first birthday of their son, Sergei. That celebration included both an extravagent “Boss Baby” themed party, as well as the release of the first-ever public photo of Sergei.
With Sergei’s privacy being so closely guarded over the last year by his parents on social media, Nastya spoke to Russia’s “Hello!” magazine about her son for the first time as part of their issue on children.
“It has been a difficult but very happy year. Sergei was a very large baby, so I had to give away all of the newborn clothes I had bought and switch to 3-4 months size,” Nastya told “Hello!”, as translated by Igor Kleyner. “When I look at my childhood photos, I see that my son looks like me. But when he is next to Sasha, he is an exact copy of him.”
