The Washington Capitals forward made his NHL debut in front of his Boston College teammates and his family during the team’s game against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.

Boston College’s Ryan Leonard was selected as one of three Hobey Baker finalists, the organization announced on Thursday. The other finalists for the award, which goes to the top men’s college hockey player in the country, are Denver defenseman Zeev Buium and Michigan State forward Isaac Howard.

After attending Leonard’s Capitals debut some 24 hours earlier, the crew of Eagles players headed to New York to support Perreault.
