HC Dinamo Minsk and Barys Astana went head-to-head in KHL action on Wednesday night.

Early on in the second period, Talgat Zhailauov received a penalty for hooking. Once his period expired, he was so excited to leave the penalty box he forgot to take his stick with him.

Luckily for Zhailauov he was on the other side of his stick or else that could have ended a lot worse for him.
