Saturday at the conclusion of practice, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, Devante Smith-Pelly, Madison Bowey, and Nathan Walker were gathering loose pucks on the ice.
According to reader Gene Wu, Kuznetsov moved the goal off its moorings and to the back boards. And then something amazing happened.
Kuznetsov showed off his incredible goalie skillz.

I count at least six point-blank saves here, including one blind arm save on a Nathan Walker backhander.
But the ridiculousness didn’t stop there. Kuznetsov remained in goal and went one-on-one with Smith-Pelly on a penalty shot.

Kuznetsov gets wrapped up into a pretzel on the first, but still makes the save. On Smith-Pelly’s second attempt, Kuznetsov stops the puck with his stick and glove.
Orlov gave the goalie position a try next.

Kuznetsov scored on him twice.
Someone better let Braden Holtby know that he just lost his starting position to Kuzy the Goalie.
It was a good run, Braden. But this Kuzy guy. Wow.
