Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Hits scoresheet twice in loss

Kucherov scored his 34th goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Arizona, although he also went minus-2.

Analysis:

That marks the remarkable Russian's seventh multi-point game in his last 14, a span in which Kucherov has a remarkable 24 points. Despite the time he's missed to injury, Kucherov ranks seventh in the league with 73 points in just 65 games; in terms of points per game, he's fifth behind only Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos, Evgeni Malkin and Connor McDavid. That's heady company.
