The Washington Capitals took the ice on Saturday morning for a morning skate at Kettler Capitals Iceplex Prior to Game 5. This upcoming game will be intense on all levels as the winner tonight will be just one win away from advancing to the next round. On Saturday morning, the team seemed loose, relaxed, and ready to go. If you couldn’t make it to Kettler, here are the highlights.
The Holtbeast aka Braden Holtby looks ready to go.

Tom Wilson was all smiles. Even though he has two more games left of his suspension, he is still allowed to participate in team practices and morning skates.
