Caps Birth Order (siblings, not age)
Okay Caps fam, I got a little bored the other day. And I was thinking about the van Riemsdyks, came to the realization that both TvR and Dylan Strome are middle children each with a hockey playing older and younger brother, and I started wondering how many oldest, middle, and youngest children were on this team. So I went and did the research myself. There’s always a chance I missed something and someone out there has a sibling I don’t know about, but this is all the information I could find, and it’s accurate to the best of my knowledge. Some of these check out with their vibes, and some may surprise you
Presenting: the oldest, youngest, and middle children on the Capitals
Oldest Siblings
Darcy Kuemper (1 brother, 1 sister)
Hendrix Lapierre (1 brother, 2 sisters)
Charlie Lindgren (2 brothers)
Aliaksei Protas (1 brother)
Middle Siblings
Martin Fehervary (1 older brother, 1 younger sister)
Max Pacioretty (1 older sister, 1 younger sister)
Dylan Strome (1 older brother, 1 younger brother)
Trevor van Riemsdyk (1 older brother, 1 younger brother)
Tom Wilson (1 older brother, 1 younger brother)
Youngest Siblings
Nicklas Backstrom (1 brother)
John Carlson (1 brother)
Nic Dowd (2 brothers)
Joel Edmundson (1 brother)
Lucas Johansen (1 brother)
Evgeny Kuznetsov (1 brother, rest in peace)
Anthony Mantha (1 sister)
Sonny Milano (1 sister)
Alex Ovechkin (2 brothers, rest in peace Sergei)
Rasmus Sandin (1 brother)
Unclear
Oldest/Middle - Connor McMichael - I found an old interview where he mentions having 2 younger brothers, 1 half-brother, and 1 half-sister. He doesn’t mention if the half-siblings are younger or older than him, so I cannot make a definitive confirmation. But I’d be willing to bet he’s the oldest child
Middle/Youngest - Nicolas Aube-Kubel - He has 2 sisters. One of them is definitely older than him, but I couldn’t figure out whether the other one was older or younger than him, so he’s either the middle or youngest child
TJ Oshie - He has 1 brother and 2 sisters. I could find absolutely zero information on their ages, so I have absolutely no clue where Teej goes in the order
No Info/Probably An Only Child
I found NO information about siblings of any kind for these guys, so either I missed something or they’re an only child
Alexander Alexeyev
Nick Jensen
Beck Malenstyn
Matthew Phillips
(If I missed something or you know additional relevant information or if I got something wrong, please let me know. I welcome all info, and I desperately wanna know where in the birth order Teej is because it’s killing me)

Capitals players on the current roster who have yet to make their playoff debut:
Alexander Alexeyev
Vincent Iorio
Lucas Johansen
Hendrix Lapierre
Charlie Lindgren
Beck Malenstyn
Ivan Miroshnichenko
Aliaksei Protas
Michael Sgarbossa
Capitals players on the current roster who have played in the playoffs but are yet to score a playoff goal:
Ethan Bear
Martin Fehervary
Nick Jensen
Connor McMichael
Sonny Milano
Dylan McIlrath
So based on what I imagine the lineups will look like, it appears that Beck, Lapierre, Lindgren, Alexeyev, and Protas are all slated to make their playoff debuts today (along with maybe Iorio or Lucas depending on the status of Jensen/Sandin). And there are a couple of guys to be on the lookout for their first ever playoff goal.
