Geoff Burke / USA TODAY Sports
Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov took a page out of the Nationals' game plan on Thursday night.
Kuznetsov scored his first career playoff goal by batting the puck out of mid-air and past New York Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak to tie Game 5 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at 1-1.
The celebration was Alex Ovechkin-esque.
