It's Swedish Heritage Night at Verizon Center in Washington, so what better way to honor the Scandinavian nation than to put together a dresser?

The Capitals had fans assemble furniture, IKEA-style, before their game against the Dallas Stars on Monday night.

Swedish ambassador to the United States, Bjorn Lyrvall, was on hand for the festivities, and the Tre Kronor spirit was well-represented.

The Capitals boast a trio of Swedes - forwards Nicklas Backstrom, Marcus Johansson, and Austrian-born Swedish national Andre Burakovsky - while the Stars have three of their own: defensemen John Klingberg and Patrik Nemeth, and forward Mattias Janmark.
