Washington Capitals winger Tom Wilson encouraged hockey fans to stay safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Wilson shared a video of him and his new dog, Halle, delivering a message of solidarity to fans as the NHL season remains suspended indefinitely due to the spread of COVID-19.
“Just wanted to send a quick video to wish you guys well,” Wilson said. “We’re thinking of you. I know you guys miss hockey right now. So do we. It’s just a tough time and it’s important to stay healthy and stay safe and take care of your loved ones.
“Hopefully we’ll be back sooner rather than later,” he added as his puppy, a recently-rescued black lab mix, licked his face.
