Nikita Kucherov Has A Big Night On Thursday
6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning right-winger Nikita Kucherov posted a goal and three assists as his team blew out the Dallas Stars by the score of 6-0 on Thursday. Aside from the strong performance offensively, the talented Russian also contributed a plus-two rating, four shots on goal and a hit in 17:45 of ice time. The beat goes on for the likely Hart Trophy candidate as Kucherov has now collected 92 points (26 goals, 66 assists) in 58 games and is remarkably on pace to eclipse the 130-point mark in 2018-2019. The 25-year-old has evolved into an undisputed top-three player in fantasy formats given his strong production across the board (plus-12 rating, 36 power-play points, 160 shots on goal) and should undoubtedly be started once again in his next game against the Canadiens on Saturday.
