The KHL playoffs have gone to the dogs.

SKA St. Petersburg invited a four-legged guest to drop the puck Thursday before Game 2 of their first-round postseason series against Vityaz as part of Russia's Defender of the Fatherland Day celebrations.

It was the best performance by a canine since the military service dog that conducted the ceremonial faceoff in Anaheim in November.
