Watch: Bruins prospect, UMass forward scores Nikita Kucherov-esque shootout goal

Bruins prospect and current UMass forward Dans Locmelis scored a dazzling shootout goal in a Hockey East showdown against UConn Friday night.

The sophomore used a move made famous by Nikita Kucherov, tossing the puck between goaltender Tyler Muszelik’s legs while faking a move to the backhand without the puck on his stick. Kucherov has scored on multiple breakaways and shootouts throughout his career with the crafty fake.

Watch the play unfold here:

The fake was so well done that not only did Locmelis beat the Huskies netminder, he also faked out at least one teammate.
