Emotional clip of Alexander Ovechkin's return to Russia

Now that the Capitals are eliminated from the NHL playoffs, Ovechkin has been reunited with his family in his native country.

It was the first time ever (since the sad events we know all too well) that Ovechkin was back home.

His wife and children attended a Caps game in early April, but that was the last time the number 8 had seen his family.

So you can guess that the reunion was obviously very emotional.
