Kucherov finishes beautiful play late in third period against Sharks (video)
Just when it looked like the Tampa Bay Lightning and San Jose Sharks were headed to overtime, Nikita Kucherov played the role of 'hero', as he scored the game-winner with a minute remaining in the third period following a beautiful play from Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel.
Point started the play by carrying the puck from the Lightning's end, through the neutral zone and into the Sharks zone. He then passed it across to Hagel, who quickly fires it to Kucherov, who puts it past James Reimer to make it 4-3 for Tampa Bay.
Despite the loss and poor start to their season, Erik Karlsson has been a bright spot for the San Jose Sharks. In 11 games, Karlsson has 11 points (six goals, five assists).
The Lightning improve to 5-4-0 on the season, while the Sharks sit at 3-8-0.
