Nikita Kucherov, the Russian winger for the Tampa Bay Lightning, emerged as the day’s first star in the NHL regular season.
On the night of November 10, Tampa Bay edged Seattle 4-3 in overtime. Kucherov delivered the overtime winner and posted two points in regulation time, including a goal and an assist. Through 28 games this season, he has accumulated 47 points, with 19 goals and 28 assists, demonstrating his continued production for the Lightning.
This victory marked Yıldırım’s (the team’s nickname) third win in the last four outings. Seattle’s Kraken have been among the league’s outliers, and this game extended Tampa Bay’s dominance in their head-to-head series, with Seattle now suffering a seventh consecutive defeat against the Lightning. Tampa Bay holds 31 points and sits in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, while Seattle, positioned 12th in the Western Conference, has 23 points.
The day’s second star was Washington Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren, who backstopped his team to a 4-0 win over the New York Rangers, turning aside all 31 shots he faced. The third star of the day went to Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak, who contributed a multi-point performance with a goal and an assist in the 5-3 win against the Arizona Coyotes.
In earlier play, Kucherov had already climbed to a notable place in Tampa Bay history, ranking second for the franchise in 3+-point games overall, underscoring his role as a consistent offensive driver for the Lightning over the years.
