Alex Ovechkin, three other Capitals violated COVID protocols while in Pittsburgh

Travel Protocol: Each member of the Club’s Travelling Party will be required to stay in a single occupancy room; no individual shall permit guests or other personnel in their room (with exception of housekeeping/engineering staff, as needed...while individuals are not present)
