Watch: Panarin stickhandles around his 'new defenseman'

Whether the Chicago Blackhawks hoist the Stanley Cup in June remains to be seen, but the Stanley pup appears well within reach.

Artemi Panarin put his "new defenseman" through the paces in a video posted Monday night on Instagram.

Panarin's pet had some trouble keeping up with the Calder Trophy winner, but no one can say the star winger's new companion was dogging it out there.
