Want Caps playoff tickets? Scavenger hunt offers free ducats

WASHINGTON — Wednesday will be the lucky day for eight Washington Capitals fans who will each get a pair of tickets to the upcoming second-round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, fans can search for enlarged versions of the letters that spell “Capitals,” throughout the District. The winners will receive two tickets to Thursday’s first game of the seven-game series.

Location clues will be released each hour until 4 p.m. through the team’s official Twitter account — @WashCaps.

One more thing — as contestants find the individual letters, they have to say “Rock the Red,” according to the team.

The Capitals sponsored a similar scavenger hunt before their first round series against the Flyers.

The complete schedule is as follows:

Game 1: Thursday, April 28, 8 p.m. at Washington

Game 2: Saturday, April 30, 8 p.m. at Washington

Game 3: Monday, May 2, 8 p.m. at Pittsburgh

Game 4: Wednesday, May 4, 8 p.m. at Pittsburgh

Game 5*: Saturday, May 7, TBD at Washington

Game 6*: Tuesday, May 10, TBD at Pittsburgh

Game 7*: Thursday, May 12, TBD at Washington

*If necessary
