Nikita Kucherov News: Three points in loss

Kucherov recorded two goals, including one on the power play, and added an assist in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Kucherov was coming off a four-assist performance in the Lightning's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday, and the star winger remains on a scorching-hot trail of late. Kucherov has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 17 appearances, recording 10 multi-point performances and earning 36 points (11 goals, 25 helpers) over that prolific stretch.
