Martin Fehervary, a top-four defenseman for the Washington Capitals, missed the team's game against the Carolina Hurricanes due to the birth of his first child. Fehervary and his girlfriend, Natalia Levius, welcomed a daughter named Anna on February 2, 2026. The birth of Anna was a momentous occasion for the couple, with Fehervary expressing his initial confusion about the gender of the baby. Natalia had announced their pregnancy in September 2025, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post. Fehervary, a 26-year-old Slovak defenseman, is in his fifth full NHL season with the Capitals and recently signed a seven-year, $42 million contract extension. The Capitals' head coach, Spencer Carbery, confirmed that Fehervary would return to the lineup against the New York Islanders the following night. This marks a special moment for Fehervary, who joins teammates Dylan Strome and Jakob Chychrun in welcoming new children this season. The Capitals organization and the RMNB team extend their congratulations to Martin and Natalia on this exciting news.
