Michal Kempny Scores in First Game Back From Injury

Caps defenseman Michal Kempny, who hasn’t played since tearing his hamstring March 20, scored in his first game back Friday, giving the Caps a 2-1 lead against the New York Rangers in the first period.

Kempny snuck in from the point and cleaned up some garbage that Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson left behind.

Teammates then proceeded to mob Kempny, giving him facewashes and leaving him everything but pregnant.
