Capitals: Alex Ovechkin helps deliver pizzas to frontline workers

At least that’s what the Papa John’s commercial featuring Alex Ovechkin said a couple seasons ago. Whether that was the case or not, Ovechkin has delivered pizzas in the past surprising Washington Capitals fans. Now during the novel coronavirus pandemic the captain has stepped up.

He’s made several headlines already. He helped donate masks to workers as part of CCMs initiative. He also helped raise money for coronavirus relief in an NHL 20 matchup with Wayne Gretzky.

In his latest move during the pause in the NHL season, Ovechkin had teamed up with Papa John’s to deliver pizzas to frontline workers at hospitals and urgent care locations around the DMV.
