“He scored 48 points on the power play for the Lightning that season. Thanks to his numerical advantage, he has already scored 10 of his 22 points this season. Kucherov has the advantage of playing with dynamic center Brayden Point, who has already scored 17 points this season. Kuch has already won a scoring title. “There’s clearly a threat of him doing it again if he stays healthy,” the journalist wrote.
On November 8, Tampa defeated the Montreal Canadiens in an away game with a score of 5:3. Kucherov scored two points in this match: He opened the scoring 22 seconds after the starting siren and made an assist.
