Brenden Dillon

Go Bang by Pnau: Newcomer Brenden Dillon went with this banger as we wait to hear it play over the speakers. He hasn’t scored a goal yet in a Capitals sweater but we can’t wait to see him light the lamp. 3/5

Dmitry Orlov

Numb by Linkin Park: Dmitry Orlov‘s original goal song was Oh Yeah which was a song you’d recognize if you’ve seen Ferris Buehler’s Day Off. He’s changed it since to Numb by the popular band Linkin Park. Orlov has four goals so far this season. 5/5

Jakub Vrana

Simon Says by Pharoahe Monch: Jakub Vrana’s original goal song was Slither which was a play on for his nickname “Jake the Snake”. He’s since changed it to a popular hip hop track from the ’90s. 4/5

Richard Panik

Hey Look Ma, I Made It by Panic! At the Disco: This is another pun on a name with Richard Panik‘s last name in effect. 4/5

Ilya Kovalchuk

Moya Igra by Basta: This is a popular Russian song for the newest Russian on the Capitals mob. Ilya Kovalchuk has one goal so far in a Capitals sweater but we have yet to see him score at home. 4/5
