Watch: Huge hip check on star forward!

Unfortunately we don't see many of them anymore, but if a hip check is done right and with great timing, its a thing of beauty.

Tonight, we were lucky enough to see one of those. Dmitry Orlov might not be a big name defenseman for the Capitals but if he keeps landing hip checks like this he will be.

Tonight he timed a perfect hip check on Avalanche forward Matt Duchene. Duchene is known for his speed and this time it worked against him as he did a complete flip over Orlov. Orlov added a bit while Duchene was going up and over him but it was quite the hit. As Duchene landed, he looked a bit stunned.

Hopefully we can look forward to more of these from Orlov in the future.
