The team also released a statement saying:

The philanthropy supported fund helps MedStar Georgetown University Hospital procure additional personal protection equipment, increase retrofitted patient rooms with negative pressure equipment, expand care capacity through tent testing sites at hospitals and other locations, create drive-through and walk-up testing locations to increase accessibility for communities and prepare for other cost needs directly associated with the COVID-19 crisis.

Among the items being auctioned are two tickets to a game with a postgame meet and greet with Oshie and a framed team-signed Stanley Cup jersey.
