Sidney Crosby catches teammate's flying stick

Sidney Crosby showed off his amazing reflexes on Wednesday night when the Penguins took on the Capitals. With less than a minute remaining in the third period, Patric Hornqvist had his stick knocked out of his hand. Luckily for him, Crosby was there to save the day in a pretty miraculous way.
