From the story:
In one of the sweetest experiences, future Hall of Famer Marc-Andre Fleury snuck him into the dressing room during pregame warmups where they played a series of practical jokes at Kaprizov’s changing-room stall, including cutting off the ends of his dress socks and putting Icy Hot in his boxers. Weston loved it.
Fleury asked Weston if they should prank other players, but Weston said, “Just Kirill.”
Also:
After the Penguins won, general manager Kyle Dubas and captain Sidney Crosby arranged for Weston to come into their dressing room, where he was presented with their Hero of the Game helmet. Weston’s father could not have been more appreciative as Weston posted for a picture with the entire team.
Good on ye, flightless birds!
Also in the piece: Tarasenko the hockey dad (great job, stepdad!), Gaborik talking to and about the team, and Hartman and Hinostroza as childhood friends to linemates.

Another tidbit is that it mentions Brodin has been playing with a mangled finger. Impressive that he managed to pull off a multi-point game
