Capitals recall Nathan Walker from Hershey Bears

The Capitals announced on Friday evening that they have recalled winger Nathan Walker from the AHL’s Hershey Bears.

Walker has 34 points in 54 games with Hershey during the 2018-19 season, with 14 goals and 20 assists.

The Capitals’ game Saturday against the New York Islanders is the final one of the Capitals’ regular season and will have no impact on who they will play in the first round of the playoffs. With their win against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday, the Capitals have already clinched first place in the Metropolitan division.

With the stakes low, Reirden was asked at his press conference after Friday’s optional skate about the possibility of some players seeing extra playing time and some regulars getting a rest.

Nathan Walker brought his giant teddy bear to Teddy Bear Toss Night and tossed it himself

Everybody’s favorite Australian NHLer, Nathan Walker, went on a Costco shopping trip earlier in the week to buy a giant bear almost as big as he for the Hershey Bears’ Teddy Bear Toss Night.

He brought his bear buddy to Sunday’s game, but he didn’t just give it to someone in the crowd to throw onto the ice. After Riley Barber scored his team’s first goal of the night and the animals started raining down, Walker went back to the Bears’ locker room to fetch his furry friend and toss him onto the ice himself.

77 photos from the Caps Dog Calendar shoot featuring puppies, the Stanley Cup, and puppies IN the Stanley Cup

The happiest day of the Capitals regular season happened on Saturday when they participated in the annual canine calendar photoshoot. Partnering with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, the guys posed with dogs up for adoption, as well as their own family-owned pups.

This year’s shoot was more relaxed, with each Caps player sporting their own style with a special guest: the STANLEY CUP! And what’s better than tiny puppies in the Cup? Not much.

Capitals players John Carlson, Brett Connolly, Nic Dowd, Lars Eller, TJ Oshie, Alex Ovechkin, Matt Niskanen, and Chandler Stephenson all posed with their own dogs. Nicklas Backstrom, Madison Bowey, Travis Boyd, Andre Burakovsky, Pheonix Copley, Christian Djoos, Braden Holtby, Dmitrij Jaskin, Michal Kempny, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, Devante Smith-Pelly, Jakub Vrana, Nathan Walker, and Tom Wilson took their photos with dogs available for adoption through Homeward Trails.

Since the calendar began in 2014, the Caps have raised almost $250,000 for Homeward Trails. A limited number of calendars will be available for $20 at the November 21 game against the Chicago Blackhawks. The calendar will be sold online and details will be announced at a later date.

While the official photos won’t be seen until the release, we hope these adorable photos will hold you over until then.
