From expectant Ovechkin to introspective Oshie, Capitals look forward to Father's Day

Matt Niskanen was one of many Washington Capitals to bring their families onboard a Stanley Cup parade bus on Tuesday. Cameras captured Niskanen celebrating with his 2-year-old son.

Reflecting on the moment the next day, Niskanen was happy to see pictures of him with his son.

“You don’t get to be as dedicated as a dad as you normally do during the playoffs,” Niskanen said. “My kid’s getting to the age now where he starts to miss me when I’m away from home, so it’s been fun to be with him a lot more the last four, five days.
