Nikita Kucherov performing a deceptive bump pass to the slot on the power play. One reason this pass was so successful is that he took multiple one time shot on net earlier in the shift, so the defenders and the goalie was fully preparing for another shot. That is when he decided to fake the shot, and bump it to the slot for an easy one timer.
What to Watch
- He uses his whole body, and windup to sell the shot and deceive the opponents
- At the last second before he shoots, he picks his head up and one touches a pass to point in the slot
