The annual Spring Puck Surprise festivities took place during Wednesday’s game against the Rangers, and four lucky winners got to meet the newest member of the Caps, Kevin Shattenkirk.

The winners:

  • Pearl Young, from Stafford, VA. She’s been a Caps season ticket holder for 29 years.
  • Jessica Marsh, from Arlington, VA. She’s been a Caps season ticket holder for four years.
  • Jeff Bainbridge, from Frederick, MD. He’s been a Caps fan for five years.
  • Jason Halsall, from Warrenton, VA. He’s been a Caps fan ‘forever.’

The fans welcomed Shattenkirk and congratulated him on winning the President’s Trophy, though he said he couldn’t take too much credit because he hasn’t been here that long. Asked if he was coming back next season, he said he hopes so, and he was having a great time here. Someone mentioned the chant fans used against his opponents in college – “You got Shatt on!” Shattenkirk said he hadn’t heard it much since his days at Boston University and wishes more fans would use it.
