By NHL.com @NHLdotcom

What is it about Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" that inspires spur of the moment karaoke?

Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen couldn't help himself to the 1986 rock classic during a game against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.
We've seen this before.
More specifically, we've seen this last season on the Toronto Maple Leafs bench, when then-rookies

No word yet on if there are plans for an NHL players world tour where multiple forwards from various teams just lip synch Bon Jovi.
