CAPITALS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Go Mad Bow! Welcome to DC. But so sorry about Nisky. Hard to know what the prognosis is without knowing the actual nature of the injury. The going rumor is that it was a break.
Looking forward to Bowey’s debut. Hopefully he can have a big game like Christian Djoos did in his debut!
