At his post-game media availability, obviously since he is a former product of the organization, Jesperi Kotkaniemi is always in demand for media questions. On top of that, he gave his team the win in a shootout yesterday.

However, this time, we witnessed a special scene, thanks to him.

As NHL reporter Guillaume Lepage reported, KK asked the first question of his media availability and spoke directly to Katherine Harvey-Pinard.

"Was that your face on the big screen? The guy on the other side, is that your brother?" - Via Guillaume Lepage, NHL

Let's just say it takes you by surprise, but it's a very good observation by #82 of the Hurricanes to have noticed this and made the connection. When he asks her if her face was on the big screen, it's because Katherine is a journalist for La Presse and she occasionally appears on ads on the big screen.

It's a funny moment, but a nice one nonetheless, as he bluntly interrupted the reporters at the beginning of his press conference to speak directly to the excellent sports journalist.

Yes, for those who did not make the connection, she is also the sister of Rafaël Harvey-Pinard.

See the reaction of the latter:
