TAMPA, Fla. — When he’s at his best, Nikita Kucherov can bring out the most in his teammates.
As the Lightning ramp up for the postseason, the most promising sign of another deep playoff run is that Kucherov has found his best hockey of the season.
He had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win over the Predators Saturday at Amalie Arena, giving him 22 points over his past 13 games, including six multi-point games.
