To open the third period of Thursday's game against the Arizona Coyotes, Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary found himself in the penalty box — and it was as good a time as any for a "Marty Parry."

The Slovak blueliner, who took a holding call against Clayton Keller late int he second, was spotted on camera moving along to the beat at Mullett Arena, the 5,000-seat venue that the Capitals played in for the first time on Thursday.

It was a fun moment for Fehervary, who finished the night with three hits, one shot, one block and a takeaway through 16:48 minutes.

Since returning from a hand injury just 10 games ago on Dec. 31, Fehervary has been playing a third-pairing role and operating alongside Matt Irwin and Alex Alexeyev. Recently, he's switched to playing on his off side and has been the right-handed shot after spending all of last year and the start of this year on the left.

When it comes to playing on the right, Fehervary said there's a few things to look out for, but it's nothing too crazy to deal with.

"I used to play on the right side a lot, like my last year in AHL, I played basically whole season on the right side. When I played in Sweden, I played the both sides," Fehervary said. 'I don't really care actually, it's just a little bit, because, [getting] used to because I haven't played for like two years so just have to get used to it. It's alright, just need to do a little bit quicker things and read the game a little bit better."

Through 36 games so far this season, No. 42 has four goals and five assists for nine points and a +/- of plus-3. He is also rising up the NHL hits leaderboard and has 119 hits so far this year.
