Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Six points in last two games
Kucherov picked up two assists Thursday in a 3-1 win over Columbus.
Kucherov has six points (three goals, three assists), seven shots and a plus-6 rating in his last two games. Overall, the Hart Trophy winner is rising the NHL scoring list -- he now has 28 points in just 19 games. Kucherov is in a tie for seventh in both assists (20), points (28) and points-per-game (1.47).

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Natural hat trick in big win Wednesday
Kucherov scored three goals, one on the power play, and added an assist in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Sabres.
All of Kucherov's points came in the third period, including a natural hat trick, as he blew the game open after Buffalo had closed to within a goal. It was the superstar winger's first hattie of the season and the eighth of his career, and his late October trade request hasn't seemed to impact his focus on the ice. In six games since the request became public, Kucherov has racked up four goals and 11 points.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Gets game winner in overtime
Kucherov delivered a goal and assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota.
His goal stood as the winner. Kucherov tied Martin St. Louis for the third-most OT goals in franchise history with 10, behind Steven Stamkos (13) and Brayden Point (12). With a potential trade in the future, he may not move up that list.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Four-game, seven-assist streak
Kucherov put up two assists Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Detroit.
He set up Brayden Point on both goals; it was Point's first multi-goal game this season. Kucherov is on a four-game, seven-assist streak (10 shots), but he is stuck at four goals in 14 games after averaging 42 over the last three seasons. Kuch is shooting as much as he did last season, but his puck luck has been miserable. Last regular season, his shooting percentage was 19.0, but it's just 10.5 this year. Kucherov will go on a run soon, but it remains to be seen if that's in Tampa Bay or elsewhere.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Three points in another day in office
Kucherov had three assists Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to Nashville.
It was another day in the office for the superstar despite the furor around his trade request. Late Friday, Bolts general manager Julien Brisbois made it clear "We unequivocally have no intention of trading Nikita." Kucherov is on a three-game, five-assist streak that includes seven shots and four PIM. The reigning Hart trophy winner is a fantasy cornerstone, so fingers crossed this doesn't get to the point of sitting out. So far, so good.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Expected to play despite trade request
Kucherov is expected to continue playing for the Lightning while the team works on accommodating his trade request, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN on Friday.
Fantasy managers can rest easy for now, knowing Kucherov will stay in the lineup after his trade request went public Friday. However, as seen earlier this week with Dylan Larkin (suspension), the player can choose to stop playing at any time if they're not satisfied with the process. Kucherov is in the final year of his deal and will submit a 10-team list of approved destinations to help the Lightning reach a deal. Expect Kucherov to remain in a prominent role until a trade is imminent.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Sets Tampa's franchise points record
Kucherov logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
With the helper, Kucherov is now the all-time points leader for the Lightning with 1,138 and counting. He had tied Steven Stamkos for the record Tuesday with a three-point effort. At 33 years old, Kucherov has plenty of time to add to his totals, though he is slated for unrestricted free agency in the summer if he doesn't reach an extension with the Lightning. He's off to a great start this year with four goals, 10 helpers, 31 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 11 outings.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Ties franchise record
Kucherov scored a goal on two shots, added two assists (one on the power play) and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Golden Knights.
With the three-point effort, Kucherov is up to 1,137 points in his career, all with the Lightning, to tie Steven Stamkos for the franchise record. This was Kucherov's fifth multi-point effort in nine outings this season. He's up to four goals, nine assists, 26 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. The record watch will be on in full force when the Lightning visit the Avalanche on Friday.
