2 years agoTampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov was involved in both of the team's goals in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers, opening the scoring with a power-play goal and recording an assist late in the game on a Nick Paul tally. The Lightning took a second consecutive loss in the playoffs for the first time since 2019, but head coach Jon Cooper can at least be happy that Kucherov started scoring again. The former MVP had gone pointless in back-to-back games. The Russian winger hasn't done too well in recent games, but he has had a pretty good postseason overall with 17 points in 13 games. Eight of his points have come on the power play.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
