When the Minnesota Wild drafted Marat Khusnutdinov in the 2nd round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, they knew they were getting a good player. What the likely didn't know was just how selfless if a player be would grow into. But last week during a playoff game Khusnutdinov put his body on the line for his team.
Late in the 2nd period of SKA's playoff game, Khusnutdinov dove to knock a pick away off a faceoff. Unfortunately on the play the stick of Joseph Duszak comes up and strikes Marat directly in the face.
