Hi everyone. I'm headed to the game this Saturday vs. Lighting at Capital One Arena, I'm bringing both my boys, 7 and 12, they are very excited and would love to get an autograph from some of the players.
From the little that I know regarding this, I know the players come to the arena about 2 hours+ before puck drop and I often see them entering the arena between some barricades with fans around. Sometimes the players stop for pictures and autographs. Can someone in the know please tell me how I can make this happen for my boys ?

Not sure if you’re local or how long you’ll be here for but it’s much easier to get autographs at one of their practice sessions. They should have a practice around 10:30am on Friday at MedStar in Arlington.

Thanks for the response, yes I live in MD and went to a practice session years ago (before my kids were born) and got a few autographs. With a hectic schedule and kids in school it's tough to plan a trip out to Arlington so was wondering how or if it's possible to meet any players at the games.

Are you in for just the day/night? More of a bar/restaurant scene guy or looking for tourist stuff?

U street has a lot going on. Not sure how much post covid but assuming it is still pretty lit. New 9:30 is pretty awesome. Basement bar is pretty cool especially for annoying openers and want to give your ears a break. Velvet Lounge used to be around might have been a pre show bar but its gone.
