A few days ago, The Washington Post revealed that one of Evgeny Kuznetsov’s nicknames inside the Caps locker room is Harry Potter. Michael Latta and Tom Wilson came up with the nickname, comparing Kuznetsov’s hockey stick to a magic wand.

During the second intermission, Jason Chimera was interviewed by Sportsnet and was asked about the skill set of his young, superstar teammate.

“Some people call him Harry Potter,” Chimera said. “He’s a pretty magical player. He’s a good kid. He wants to do well. He’s a good listener. It couldn’t of happened to a better kid.”

What Chimera forgot to mention: this ain’t Kuznetsov’s first rodeo.
