Kucherov scores on no-shot move against Holtby again

Nikita Kucherov did it again to Braden Holtby.

The Tampa Bay Lightning forward successfully executed his patented no-shot move to beat the Washington Capitals goalie on a breakaway during the third period of the Lightning's 4-2 win at Capital One Arena.

"I was just trying to do something," Kucherov said after the game. "What happened happened."
It was the first time Kucherov successfully scored on the move during regular-season game play, but incredibly it was the second time Kucherov executed it against Holtby this season. Kucherov pulled off the feat on Holtby at the 2018 Honda NHL All-Star Game during the second half of the Atlantic Division's 7-4 win against the Metropolitan Division.

It was the third time Kucherov pulled off the move, which he debuted to the world last season
during a shootout against the Buffalo Sabres
, and it probably sewed up Goal of the Year honors.
"He can make moves like that," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "It obviously was a huge, timely goal for us."
