In the third of a series of era celebration nights at Capital One Arena on Friday, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, Karl Alzner and Brent Johnson got to drop the ceremonial puck to celebrate the Rock the Red Era of Caps hockey, which began in 2005 and coincides with Alex Ovechkin’s career.
Some of the players have also been on a promotional tour lately, like Backstrom, who made an appearance at the Rockville Verizon store.
