Tyler Johnson, Nikita Kucherov, goal!
The deadly combination - who are part of the Tampa Bay Lightning's "Triplet Line" along with Ondrej Palat - struck once again in Tuesday's Game 6, and boy, was it ever a dandy of a goal.
With Kucherov breaking down the middle towards the net, Johnson siphoned a tremendous saucer pass - right between the New York Rangers' defenders - which Kucherov buried for the Lightning's third goal of the contest.

The goal was Kucherov's second of the game, giving him nine in the postseason.
