Nikita Kucherov Ends 16-Game Postseason Goal Drought
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov scored a third-period game-tying goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens. Incredibly, the former MVP hadn't scored a postseason goal for three years, firing blanks in 14 consecutive games. With the monkey off his back now, it will be interesting to see whether Kucherov will go on a scoring streak. He hasn't found the back of the net in consecutive games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs since the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Rangers. Although Kucherov has lacked puck luck in front of the net in the postseason, he has still been a point-per-game player. This year, Kucherov has tallied one goal and two assists through his first two playoff outings.
