A very embarrassing video of Kucherov goes viral as he appears to abandon his team

Artturi Lehkonen scored the winning goal and the Avalanche players held off the Lightning players late in the game.

However, we just realized that they got a little help from... Nikita Kucherov! You read that right. There is a video that is circulating a lot right now that has gone viral. It shows Kucherov completely abandoning his team with only 25 seconds left in the game and with his team trailing by only one goal.

So, in the meantime, Kucherov wasted many seconds being on the bench farting.

You can actually see him throwing his gloves down hard:

According to many, this video is very embarrassing for Kucherov, who seems to have abandoned his team at the most important moment of the season.

Tampa was still in the game and the Lightning players really needed Kucherov at 100% in that last minute.

It's certainly not the most glorious moment of Kucherov's career.
