Jonas Siegenthaler played his first career NHL game on Friday, and skated a couple of warmup laps by himself. (Caps Outsider)
November is Hockey Fights Cancer month, and one yearly tradition is for the Caps to wear lavender warmup jerseys. Afterward, they auction them off and donate the proceeds to Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and Flashes of Hope.
Nicklas Backstrom wore lavender skate blades, while other players had lavender tape on their stick.
