Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Game continues to evolve

Kucherov scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Sabres.

Kucherov is a top-five offensive player in the NHL and he's on an eight-game, 17-point scoring streak (three goals, 14 assists). He's on pace to score more than 30 goals, but that's a lot fewer than the 40 and 39 he's drained in the last two years. Kooch's game has changed a bit this season, but he's still an exceptional fantasy play and on pace for 110 points. Deploy him with confidence.
