Predators prospect Yaroslav Askarov finds unique way to celebrate 45-save victory (video)
The Milwaukee Admirals took on the Rockford IceHogs on Friday evening, a game that ended with the former taking the two points in the shootout. Following the shootout, Nashville Predators prospect Yaroslav Askarov found a unique way to celebrate his 45-save victory. The 20-year-old grabbed the crossbar of the net, laid down on his back and began to imitate a bench press before getting back up and celebrating with his teammates.
The Omsk (Russia) native was drafted by the Predators in the first round back in 2020. Askarov made his NHL debut last month against the Montreal Canadiens, but lost the game by a score of 4-3.
