Coming home from Toronto with a 4-2 win and a 3-game winning streak, the Capitals were in a giving mood today. The team spent part of Monday afternoon visiting MedStar Health in Georgetown to spend time with some of the patients at the hospital. 

The Capitals’ players divided into groups and paid a visit to the hospital’s art room and oncology units.

Getting a picture with the captain, Alex Ovechkin, is something that these kids will never forget.
