Washington Capitals to honor DCA plane crash victims with helmet decal

During their home game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Washington Capitals will honor the victims with a decal on their helmets; Tampa Bay players, too, will wear them.

The decals feature a figure skate and a hockey skate with the date "1.29.25" encircled in the shape of a heart. 

Two former Olympians, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, were also among the victims of the crash, the Kremlin confirmed. 

There were 60 passengers and four crew members aboard the American Airlines flight and three soldiers aboard the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.

The Caps are running away with the Eastern Conference, leading the way with 82 points.
