Prior to last night's game between the rival Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, a couple star players engaged in a heartfelt moment, showing their respect for each other off the ice.
It's great to see the respect Ovechkin shows for a longtime rival in Letang. Letang seems to reciprocate the gesture, and the two return to warm-up. The entire moment is the epitome of professionalism in the NHL.
In a triumphant return last Tuesday against the Panthers, Letang scored 2 goals, 2 assists, including the game winning goal in overtime. He was held off the scoresheet last night, but Alex Ovechkin notched a power play goal in a 3-2 Capitals a win at home in Washington.
