Lightning Round: Nikita Kucherov named third star of the week by NHL

Sure, the Seattle Kraken lost their game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday, but they accomplished something that has only happened seven times this season. They kept Nikita Kucherov off of the scoresheet. The Lightning scored four times, but for the first time in five games, Kucherov didn’t record an assist or a goal.

However, earlier in the day, Kucherov received a nice honor from the league as he was one of the three stars for the week ending January 15th.

Martin Jones (@SeattleKraken), Lucas Raymond (@DetroitRedWings) and Nikita Kucherov (@TBLightning) named the NHL’s “Three Stars” for the week ending Jan.
