Watch: Kucherov scores 20th of year on wide-open breakaway

Tough night for Peter Budaj.

After watching Tampa Bay Lightning winger Jonathan Drouin snipe an early goal from a sharp angle, Budaj was left out to dry by his Los Angeles Kings defense once again Tuesday night.

Lightning forward Vladislav Namestnikov slid a stretch pass right down main street to find a wide open Nikita Kucherov - the Russian sniper made no mistake, earning his 20th goal of the year with a five-hole tally.
