Denna Laing might have received her most famous “guest” on Thursday.

Laing, who suffered a serious neck injury during the Women’s Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium on Jan. 1, was paid a visit by the greatest trophy in sports, the Stanley Cup.

Phil Pritchard, a.k.a the “Keeper of the Cup,” tweeted a photo of Laing spending some quality time with the silver chalice on Thursday afternoon.

Pritchard (and the Cup) is just the latest in a long line of hockey stars to visit Laing during her recovery. The Boston Blades player has received visits and/or encouragement from the likes of Zdeno Chara, Rob Gronkowski and Mitt Romney.

The Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens also came together to raise money for her recovery efforts, and the B’s hosted a “Denna Laing Night” at TD Garden.
