Several Washington Capitals players spent part of their Saturday cooking and serving Caps fans at the Nando’s PERi-PERi in Arlington, Virginia. 

Andre Burakovsky, Lars Eller, Stanislav Galiev, Nate Schmidt and Tom Wilson all spent part of their Saturday afternoon, working, waiting and feeding Caps fans. All sales from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM went to benefiting the Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation.
