Tampa Bay Lightning: Player Evaluations Part One: Nikita Kucherov

A 62-win season has only happened once before, and the Lightning broke just about every single franchise record that they had previously set. One of the best players on the Lightning roster was Nikita Kucherov, who had an absolutely unreal performance over the course of the season.

The Basics

Kucherov played all 82 games this season for the Lightning, recording 41 goals (0.5 Goals Per Game) and 87 assists (1.06 Assists Per Game), which totals 128 points on the season (1.56 Points Per Game). He ranked tied for sixth in goals around the league, first in assists (12 more than second place McDavid), and first in points (12 more than second place McDavid).
