Kirill Kaprizov got to have a little fun during Friday’s All-Star Skills Competition. Not only was he experiencing his first weekend among the league’s best players, but he was given the spotlight and flexibility to get a little creative during the Breakaway Challenge during the night of events to show off the abilities of some hockey players.
With the Minnesota Wild winger up first, he went over to his countryman Evgeny Kuznetsov and unveiled the jersey of his idol, Alex Ovechkin.
The Ovechkin jersey isn’t even one of the better parts of this clip, but the fact that Kaprizov so casually skates by the interview, just giving them a simple smile as they were trying to ask him questions; and he just does his attempt right away on his off-hand attempt.
