What happened: The Washington Capitals are promoting the Alzner Foundation's annual 'Swing Into Summer' charity softball game on Saturday at Capital One Park. Matt Roy, Karl Alzner, Eric Fehr, Braden Holtby and Steve Oleksy are among the names slated to take the field for the fundraiser.

Why it matters: The event keeps a roster of current and former Capitals connected to the franchise's fan base during the offseason and channels that goodwill into charity. Reunions of familiar names like Holtby and Alzner carry sentimental weight for a fan base that watched them through deep playoff runs.

What to watch: Ticket and attendance details are available via the team's promotion ahead of Saturday's game. Watch for any additional alumni or current Capitals added to the lineup before the event.
