Will Nikita Kucherov be the next NHL player to hit 1,000 career points? The Tampa Bay Lightning have had a big week so far, with three consecutive Atlantic division wins, collecting seven out of their eight points available for the month of February. If they can get one more win on Sunday in Montreal, they'll be locked into a good spot in the standings heading into the 4 Nations Face-off break. Montreal is a bit of a different team since the Lightning met them last on Jan 21. when they beat the Lightning 3-2. The Canadiens have been shutout in their last two home appearances and are averaging less than two goals per game, dropping seven of their last eight contests. After a pretty brutal month of January, the Lightning are starting to work through their scores woes, winning three of their last four which includes a win last night in Detroit. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE LINES FROM SATURDAY’S GAME: Forwards Jake Guentzel - Anthony Cirelli - Nikita Kucherov Brandon Hagel - Brayden Point - Gage Goncalves Zemgus Girgensons - Nick Paul - Mikey Eyssimont Mitchell Chaffee - Luke Glendening - Dylan Duke Defensemen Victor Hedman - Darren Raddysh Ryan McDonagh - Erik Cernak Emil Lilleberg - Nick Perbix Goaltenders Andrei Vasilevskiy Tampa Bay and Montreal will both be in the second half of a back-to-back when they meet on Sunday.
