RALEIGH, N.C. — Jonas Siegenthaler’s first NHL point came at PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina, in December. He assisted on a goal by none other than Alex Ovechkin.
After he split time between the Washington Capitals and their minor league affiliate during his rookie season, Siegenthaler appears to have earned a spot back in the starting lineup moving forward, playing in Raleigh once again for his first appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
“It’s big. Not everyone is able to play a Stanley Cup Playoff game,” Siegenthaler said before the Capitals‘ Game 4 Thursday.
