Washington Capitals Vikings of the Game
This season, head coach Peter Laviolette introduced the Vikings shield and hatchet, given out to players after each win for the best offensive performance and best defensive performance in the game. Vikings is a TV series that Laviolette watched, just as he watched the series Cobra Kai before last season, and then passed out the Cobra Kai headband of the game.
The winners after each game are selected by the previous winners. The Caps don’t always announce the winners after each game but we’ll do our best to keep this up to date. It appears they started doing this in the pre-season.
