Yes, Kucherov intentionally didn’t shoot the puck, allowing it to go right between the legs of Robin Lehner. Even better? That goal was the game winner for the Lightning, as Kucherov was the last Tampa Bay shooter to go.
The move was so vicious that teammate Steven Stamkos had this to say on Twitter after the game.
So savage, Kuchverov.
