McNugget Minute 🏒

If you're a Washington Capitals fan, you know: when Ovechkin scores, you celebrate. And in DC, celebrating often means McNuggets — a beloved local tradition tied to the McDonald's McNugget Minute promotion, where Caps goals triggered McNugget deals for fans across the DC area.

A McNugget Minute is that electric moment — the lamp lights, the horn blares, the Capital One Arena erupts, and somewhere a McDonald's fryer kicks into overdrive. It's pure, uncut Caps joy.

This site exists for one reason: to help Caps fans know exactly who to cheer for on any given night. Whether Washington is playing or not, every game on the NHL schedule matters during playoff season. The cheer guide, playoff picture, and bubble watch are all updated live so you always know where things stand.
