Former Caps forward Alexander Semin took in the Capitals game on Thursday, and the crowd cheered for him as he stood, clapped and waved.

Known as the Enigma, Semin played for the Caps from 2003 to 2012, scoring 197 goals and 211 assists in 469 games, but somehow, never treated the place as home. He kept signing one-year contracts, and eventually took off to Carolina. He played parts of four more seasons, including 15 in Montreal, before returning to his home country of Russia and playing there until his retirement.
