Will Nikita Kucherov be the next NHL player to hit 1,000 career points? The Tampa Bay Lightning [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/tampa-bay-lightning/] kicked off November with a less-than-ideal performance. Through their first ten games, the Bolts have only been able to win four while only amassing 10 points in the standings. The Lightning started off their season 7-4 and looked to be trending in the right direction after they pulled off a 5-2 victory on the road against the Colorado Avalanche [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/colorado-avalanche/]. They proceeded to drop the next four games, where the goal differential was -7. The four-game skid was capped off by a 2-1 shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, where the Lightning held the lead for most of the showdown. Tampa Bay would ultimately bounce back the next week with an impressive win [https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/tbl-vs-wpg/2024/11/14/2024020259] over the then 15-1-0 Winnipeg Jets [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/winnipeg-jets/]. November has certainly been a month of highs and lows. The win against the Jets would propel the Lightning to two more wins before they fell short in a high-scoring affair to the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. After dropping a second straight to the Stars, the Lightning returned with a vengeance last night as they dominated the Colorado Avalanche 8-2 [https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/col-vs-tbl/2024/11/25/2024020334/boxscore]to take the season series.
