13 2015 Winter Classic

In 2015 Nationals Park hosted the 2015 Winter Classic on New Years Day. The Capitals would prevail by a final of 3-2 over the Chicago Blackhawks.

It was a full house over 42,000 fans on hand and the city pulled out all the stops with a replica Capital dome and reflecting pool to introduce both teams.

Alex Ovechkin would score on the big stage and so did Eric Fehr who had a flare for the dramatic for outdoor games. Troy Brouwer would score on the power play late in the third period.

Ovechkin would say to the AP

"We start taking about the Winter Classic since we started the season, and this is it. I remember Brouwie said it's a good time to show up and make a show. And he did."

Brouwer's goal came against his former team who played in the outdoor game at Wrigley Field in 2009.
