Is this the NHL's version of Westworld?A video surfaced on Sunday of Washington Capitals Kevin Shattenkirk and Evgeny Kuznetsov appearing to practice with a stickhandling robot.[Tweet from @Tommy_Chalk: Kuznetsov and Shattenkirk are being challenged by a robot. pic.twitter.com/xubeKZo42P](https://twitter.com/Tommy_Chalk/status/837721935920435200)Unlike the popular sci-fi TV series though, this robot looked nothing like a human being. It actually looked more like the old video game character Q-bert.The robot was a small square on a on a stand that featured an arm holding a hockey stick that made a sweeping motion. The object, it appears, is to handle the puck around the robot without hitting the stick.[Tweet from @Tommy_Chalk: Kuznetsov has solved the robot. pic.twitter.com/0qHVkd6Ni4](https://twitter.com/Tommy_Chalk/status/837723716603756544)At one point, after Kuznetsov was handling around the robot with ease, Shattenkirk appeared to increase the machine's speed.So much for cones.
