While defending against Coyotes, veteran catches one with back of his uniform

Colorado Avalanche forward Joonas Donskoi pulled the old hidden puck trick and he didn't even know it.

In the second period against the Arizona Coyotes on Monday, Donskoi looked to defend a shot by defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson.
He defended it alright. With the back of his right pants leg.
Donskoi couldn't help but laugh as it took him about 15 full seconds to both realize he was in possession of the puck and retrieve it for the officials.
