Watch: Kuznetsov bats puck out of mid-air for sensational goal

Blink and you'll miss a terrific goal by Evgeny Kuznetsov.

The Washington Capitals forward showed impressive hand-eye coordination while representing Russia at the World Championship on Saturday, following his own shot and batting the puck out of mid-air into Switzerland's net.

The Capitals' trio of Kuznetsov, Alex Ovechkin, and Dmitry Orlov were playing their first game for Russia at the 2016 tournament.

The host country entered the game sitting in third place in Group A, with three wins and one regulation loss.
