Nichushkin Scores Between-the-Legs Tip-In · May 20, 2026
Trailing 3-0 in the third period of Game 1, Nichushkin drove hard to the net, accepted Ross Colton's centering pass, and redirected it through his own legs to Carter Hart's far side at 5:53 — a moment of stunning skill that briefly reignited Colorado's comeback bid. It was a reminder of Nichushkin's elite finishing ability, the same between-the-legs touch that made waves during a regular-season shorthanded goal against St. Louis in April.
