Tonight, our evening walk turned into a rescue mission to save a sweet (& very frightened) kitten who was hiding in a little hole on the Woodrow Wilson bridge! pic.twitter.com/WxXrbQMJON

According to Holtby’s wife, Brandi, the two were taking a walk across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge when they encountered the kitten hiding in an outcrop by the road. “With the help of some amazing strangers, a can of tuna, and a bit of patience we got her out!” said Brandi on Twitter. Holtby can be seen holding the box with the kitten inside. (RELATED: Gretzky And Ovechkin Play NHL20 For Charity)
