For the fourth time in his career Nikita Kucherov is a NHL All-Star. The winger was named to the initial Atlantic Division roster as the Tampa Bay Lightning representative for the game to be held in Sunrise, Florida on February 4th. Kucherov, who is leading the league in assists, made the roster in the 2017, 2018, and 2019 All-Star Games. Now, after a couple of injury-shortened seasons, he’s right back among the league’s elite.
The league announced the initial rosters on Thursday by naming one player from each team.
