During his point streak, Kucherov has been peppering opposing netminders with rubber, racking up 37 shots over those 10 outings. With the Bolts set to face the Blackhawks in two of their next three games, Kucherov should continue to write his name on the scoresheet and should cruise to a third straight 100-plus point campaign.

The Tampa Bay Lightning took down the Detroit Red Wings 5-1 on Saturday night. Even though the Red Wings outshot the Lightning a lopsided 40 to 22, a strong night by the Lightning’s top line and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes allowed them to flip the script.

On a team that has multiple high-end players, Kucherov is leading the Bolts in scoring by a margin of 19, accounting for 47 helpers, 68 points and a plus-14 rating through 42 outings this season.

The immediate status report on Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen is that his departure from Saturday's game looked worse that it was.
