WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Metro General Manager/CEO Paul J. Wiedefeld today announced that
Metrorail will remain open an additional hour tomorrow for fans
attending the Capitals v. Lightning game at Capital One Arena, thanks to

"We know how important it is when the hometown team advances in the
playoffs, and we want to make sure our customers can be there for every
play and get home safely-and emissions free-by powering the Metro's
extended hours Tuesday night," said Exelon President and CEO Chris
Crane. "We believe that helping our customers be there to cheer on the
Capitals is its own kind of power play, and we are pleased to partner
with Metro and the Mayor and to make it happen."

ÔÇ£Tuesday is a big night for DC as the #SportsCapital as the Capitals
take on Tampa Bay and the Nationals host the Yankees,ÔÇØ said Mayor
Bowser. ÔÇ£I want fans to focus on rooting for their home teams, and with
ExelonÔÇÖs support, Metro will get you to the games and homes afterwards.
I ask all Washingtonians to rock the red and LetÔÇÖs Go Caps!ÔÇØ

After Metro's regular closing time, all stations will remain open for
entry and exit to ensure fans using Metro will be able to get home at
the conclusion of the game.

"The Caps and Metro are a great source of pride for the region," said

whether they are in the arena, or out with friends cheering on the Caps
in the Eastern Conference finals."
