Ryan Leonard, a 20-year-old winger, will debut with the Washington Capitals against the Boston Bruins, just days after playing for Boston College. Following the signing of his entry-level contract, Leonard expressed excitement and a sense of dreams coming true. He will play on a line with Dylan Strome and Aliaksei Protas, with the aim of providing him support in his inaugural game. Leonard's enthusiasm is palpable, having practiced alongside Alex Ovechkin and enjoying the atmosphere with friends and family present at the game.
This is the only debut I'll have... something you really dream about comes true.
I think giving him an opportunity to play inside our top six was objective [number] one.
