The Washington Capitals are having a moment, and on Wednesday, city officials are planning to host a pre-playoffs fan rally for the team at the Carnegie Library.

In a release, local sports authority Events DC says Mayor Muriel Bowser, team-owner Ted Leonsis, and former players will publicly cheer on the Caps at 801 K St. NW. The free event will last from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. “In addition, the Capitals’ #RockTheRed Ride of Fame bus will be on-site as well as Red Rockers, mascot Slapshot, and food trucks,” Events DC says. “The event also features giveaways, music and other surprises.”

On Thursday, the Caps—seeded no. 1 in the National Hockey League’s Metropolitan Division—will face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. According to ESPN’s Joe McDonald, the District’s team has not reached the Stanley Cup finals since 1998: “Many believe, however, that this could be the season Washington finally becomes a serious Cup contender. In their second season under coach Barry Trotz, the Caps have become a dominant team thanks to their size, strength, speed, and talent.”

Per the NHL, the Caps initial playoff schedule is as follows:
