Dressed as mascots, Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, and Evgeny Kuznetsov play children during first intermission of KHL game

Ahead of the World Cup of Hockey, the Russian national team has been practicing together in St. Petersburg. On Thursday, Alex Ovechkin participated in Knowledge Day ceremonies, welcoming children back to school. Today, in that same vein, the Russian machine joined Evgeny Kuznetsov and Evgeni Malkin out on the ice to play hockey against children during the first intermission of the SKA/Lada Togliatti game.

The Russian superstars were dressed — I’m serious — as mascots.

Ovechkin looks to be a fox (???) while Kuznetsov maybe is a raccoon.
