In an inspirational performance, Washington Capitals right winger T.J. Oshie scored a hat trick during Wednesday's 4-2 win over the New York Rangers.
It was his first game since he announced his father, Tim, who was known to many as "Coach Oshie," died.
"It's with a heavy heart today that my family mourns the passing of my Dad 'Coach Oshie,'" the Capitals star wrote. "Coach lived life to the fullest and was unanimously loved by everyone who met him. Thanks to all the family and friends for their support. Heaven received a legend today."
