Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Points in four straight games

Kucherov scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to New Jersey.

Kucherov was sprung for a breakaway by a great pass from Brandon Hagel, and he fooled Jacob Markstrom with a blocker-side shot. Kucherov has registered 1.55 points per game, which matches Nathan MacKinnon for first in the NHL. The 31-year-old Kucherov has points in four straight games (one goal, four assists). He has 18 goals and 59 through 38 contests this campaign. Kucherov has been held off the scoresheet in just six games this season. That kind of consistency is golden in every format.
