The NHL paused play this week due to COVID-19 issues around the league, which began the holiday break earlier than expected. Players returned to their families at home while some took a small vacation. Here is how some of the Washington Capitals spent Christmas.

Alex Ovechkin

The Ovechkin family flew to Florida and relaxed on the warm beaches:

Vitek Vanecek

Vitek and his fiancée Kristýna stayed local. He wished everyone a Merry Christmas and thanked all for their support this year:

The Oshie family also stayed in DMV. They attended the Enchant Christmas DC festival:
