While the NHL is no stranger to dealing with unpredictable elements like bad weather during outdoor games, experiencing sunlight-related issues indoors is certainly a rarity. That' was the case on Sunday, at Capital One Arena.

During Sunday's game between the Ottawa Senators and the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena, sunlight managed to sneak its way in and blind Ottawa Senators goalie Jonas Korpisalo.

It wasn't just the players and fans who were caught off guard by the unusual occurrence. Despite being indoors, sunlight managed to find its way through the arena's roof, casting an unexpected glare onto the ice.

It's a reminder that even in a controlled environment like a professional hockey arena, nature can still find a way to make its presence known. With a solar eclipse scheduled for Monday afternoon, it's almost as if the hockey world got a preview of the celestial event a day early.It serves as a reminder that in the fast-paced world of professional sports, anything can happen, and teams must be prepared to adjust to whatever curveballs nature throws their way � even if those curveballs come in the form of unexpected rays of sunshine indoors.

The Capitals lead the game 1-0.
