Nikita Kucherov has been out of this world this season.
Nikita Kucherov has been out of this world this season.
It is no secret that Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Nikita Kucherov has been dominant this season. The 30-year-old currently has 43 goals, 98 points, and a league-leading 141 points in 71 games.
It has been a historic season for Kucherov and a significant reason for that has been the star's ability to stay hot. Because of this, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper was asked about Kucherov's consistency this season. From there, the Lightning bench boss shared a simply ridiculous Kucherov stat, as he noted that No. 86 has had 23 games with three or more points this season.
Having that many games with at least three points is remarkable. It only paints a bigger picture of just how outstanding Kucherov has been this season and helps build his case to be this year's Hart Memorial Trophy winner.
Kucherov now has two more games to reach the 100-assist mark this season. Given the fact that he has 10 assists over his last five games, it is easy to feel confident that he will reach it.
