Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Three points in win

Kucherov provided a goal and two assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

Kucherov tied the score at 1-1 in the middle frame, and he added two helpers on the man advantage. The Russian winger added four shots, one block and a plus-1 rating in 22:43 of ice time, as he didn't skip a beat in his return from a two-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Kucherov has generated two goals and six assists in his last four appearances. The 31-year-old has yet to be held off the scoresheet in back-to-back contests this season, and through 23 appearances, Kucherov leads Tampa Bay in scoring with 13 goals and 37 points.
