St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko scored a goal during Tuesday's game in Dallas that was so nice he may have helped coin a new phrase.
Tarasenko gobbled up an outlet pass from Jori Lehtera in the third period and dropped moves on Ryan Garbutt and goalie Kari Lehtonen that a Stars color man referred to as "dainty venom."

The goal was Tarasenko's second of the game, and one of the nicest we're going to see all season.
He added a third in overtime to complete the hat trick - the first of his career - and finished the night with four total points and six shots on goal.
