WASHINGTON -- Fans gathered by the thousands outside Capital One Arena for an ALL CAPS Hockey Fest before Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.
Some were there to watch a pregame concert by recording artists Sting and Shaggy on a stage in front of the National Portrait Gallery. Others were cheering behind the set of the NHL Network on F Street at the front entrance to the arena. The ALL CAPS Family Zone down the block offered face painting, glitter tattoos, poster-making stations and balloon artists for kids.
