Ovie goat cover

Alex Ovechkin hung with a fellow goat, literally.

The Washington Capitals captain posed with a baby goat for the July issue of the Washingtonian magazine.

On the cover, Ovechkin sports his Capitals jersey and hugs the baby goat to his chest.

A behind-the-scenes video shows the Capitals star bonding with the baby goat, who nuzzled his head into Ovechkin’s chest and kissed his cheek.

Ovechkin comforted his new buddy saying, "You're in good hands."

The Washingtonian staff explained in the video they loved the idea of Ovechkin posing on the cover with an actual goat.

The magazine’s July issue focuses on “100 reasons to love D.C. right now.” Ovechkin takes the number one spot after becoming the NHL all-time leading scorer in April.

Sounds like a solid reason to us.
