VIDEO: Lightning F Kucherov dangles like Patrick Kane in practice
Steven Stamkos wasn't the only Lightning player working on his stick handling Saturday.
Rookie Nikita Kucherov has three goals in his first eight NHL games, but his moves in practice suggest he's capable of much more.
Kucherov's moves are reminiscent of Patrick Kane's promotional video for the Bauer Vapor APX2 stick, where the Blackhawks superstar dangles through a series of puck mazes. The Russian rookie still has a lot to do before he can come close to matching Kane's abilities in practice or in a game (Kane has 466 points in 480 career regular-season contests).
