WASHINGTON — If it was a up until Thursday night, it wasn鈥檛 anymore by the time the Caps hoisted the Stanley Cup: Alex and Nastya Ovechkin are expecting their first child.
When prompted during a postgame SportsNet interview, Ovechkin declined to discuss the particulars.
鈥淚t鈥檚 unbelievable,鈥� he said. 鈥淚鈥檓 just happy, you know?鈥�
Nastya also posted a photo to Instagram of the couple with the Stanley Cup with the caption 鈥淲e did it,鈥� in Russian.
The Capitals defeated the Las Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final to win the franchise’s first-ever championship. They are expected back in Washington Friday afternoon, with a parade coming sometime next week.
