  • Kucherov recorded an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche. Kucherov snapped a five-game scoring drought with his goal midway through the first period, and it was his 12th of the campaign. Not content with that, the star winger also set up two goals on the power play, one scored by Jake Guentzel and the other by Brayden Point, to reach 20 helpers this season. The 31-year-old has been on a tear of late, recording points in all but two of his previous 11 games and notching six multi-point efforts in that span.

  • Kucherov had three assists in Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss to Columbus. Kucherov surpassed 900 NHL points (902; 331 goals, 571 assists) in just 743 games. He's the fourth-fastest player born outside North America and 23rd fastest ever to get to 900 points. Kucherov also took a nasty slash on the hand in the first period. He dropped his stick in visible pain. Fingers crossed there's no lingering issue when he wakes up Friday. That hand will be sore and could affect shooting

  • Kucherov picked up two assists in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Saturday. The helpers extended his point streak to seven games (three goals, nine assists). Kucherov is tied with Carolina's Martin Necas for fifth in scoring with 26 points. Kucherov was tied for the league lead in points a few weeks ago. He'll continue to vie for the league-scoring title as the season progresses. Kucherov is only two points from third overall and is an automatic fantasy start.

  • Kucherov scored a goal Thursday in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers. He opened the scoring in the last minute of the first period with a wraparound goal. It was the Bolts' only goal. Kucherov has nine points (three goals, six assists) during a five-game point streak, but we're sure he'd give up that streak to end the Bolts' four-game losing streak.
