Shane Gersich gets pranked by teammates before first NHL game

Shane Gersich is making his NHL debut on Wednesday night after signing a two-year deal on Friday.

To celebrate his big milestone, the Capitals gave Gersich the “rookie treatment” during warmups. The UND alum took a few solo laps on the ice before the rest of the team joined him.
