Chara gets mobbed with hugs by teammates after first goal with Capitals

Sure, they are all big goals when you are 6-foot-9, but Zdeno Chara's first score as a member of the Washington Capitals was extra special to his new teammates.

Chara fired a puck from the left point past New York Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov to give the Capitals a 5-3 lead in the second period and then the celebration was on.
Chara was right at the Capitals bench after firing his shot and the team made the most of it, swallowing the big defenseman in hugs.
The Capitals social media team was also fired up for the goal.

For Chara's efforts, he received one of coach Peter Laviolette's
"Cobra Kai" headbands
after the game, along with forward Connor Sheary.

It's easy to see that the Capitals are very happy to have "Big Z."
