After his stellar run at the World juniors, Capitals fans have been begging for Connor McMichael to make his debut in Washington.

Today is that day.

McMichael will make his debut against the Sabres and it turns out he was a fan of Ovechkin growing up. How do we know this? McMichael’s mom posted a photo of his halloween costume when he was younger on twitter.

It is so sweet to see his mom showing him support on his big day, McMichael is getting the full treatment as well as a rookie getting the solo skate treatment from his Caps teammates.
