Kenan Thompson, the two-time “Mighty Ducks” star, recreated his iconic slap shot with ex-NHLer P.K. Subban on the latter’s ESPN+ show, “P.K.’s Place,” recently. The segment showed the two flipping the puck on its edge and releasing fiery slapshots into the net, resembling Thompson’s signature move in the 1994 movie “D2: The Mighty Ducks” in which he played Russ Tyler.

Almost three decades later, the “Mighty Ducks” trilogy evokes plenty of nostalgia — with a hefty dose coming when Thompson channeled Tyler’s famous long. The segment showed the two flipping the puck on its edge and releasing fiery slapshots into the net, resembling Thompson’s signature move in the 1994 movie “D2: The Mighty Ducks” in which he played Russ Tyler.

“It’s hard to be accurate, but it drives goalies crazy,” the “Saturday Night Live” star explained to Subban.

The ex-Devils star worked as an NHL studio analyst this season and postseason on ESPN alongside Rangers great Mark Messier and saw “P.K.’ Place” debut on the Worldwide Leader’s streaming service on May 3. It dives into the history of professional hockey as he talks with both past and present hockey stars as well as famous fans of the game.

“For a long time, I’ve sat in the locker room with teammates and discussed what it would be like to be on the other side as an analyst,” Subban said. He’s doing just that — and now he’s added a knuckle-puck to his arsenal.

The “Mighty Ducks” trilogy still evokes plenty of nostalgia almost three decades later, and in this case, a dose of it came when Thompson channeled Tyler’s famous long-range shot.

Subban retired after the 2021-22 season and made the transition to media as an analyst, a move he had been contemplating for some time. And now, with Thompson’s guidance, he’s added a knuckle-puck to his arsenal.
