This young Washington Capitals fan was hoping to receive a gift before the Capitals’ Game 2 at Capital One Arena Sunday night, and she had to be patient.
Brett Connolly, the Capitals forward, noticed her and tossed a puck over the glass during pregame warmups, but the boy next to her — presumably one of her brothers — grabbed it instead.
Connolly didn’t leave the area until he was sure the girl received the puck she was looking for, even though it took three tries and some sad faces:
The announcer points out that the girl’s father in the John Carlson jersey behind her “orchestrated” it.
