Ovechkin gives his jacket to an Edmonton homeless man

On Friday afternoon, The Sequel Cafe tweeted out that they saw Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin giving his coat and hat to a homeless man in downtown Edmonton.

The Caps are facing the Oilers tonight, and Ovechkin has the best highlight so far.

We saw The Alex Ovechkin take off his winter jacket and hat and give it to a homeless man he passed on the street. Wow! #gooddeeds

Other sources say that Ovi also went on to buy a jacket and shirt for the man, who did not recognize the star player at all.

The homeless man who @ovi8 helped did not recognize him. The man had no shirt so @Capitals forward went bought him a shirt/jacket.

You may hate him on the ice, Edmonton, but Ovechkin is loved on the streets now!
