5 years agoThe Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Carolina Hurricanes on the strength of two first-period goals, including the game-winner from Steven Stamkos. The center also added an assist. He now has nine points in his last seven points. He’s just one point away from reaching 40 for the season in one has been a little bit of a disappointing offensive season after he recorded 98 points in 2018-19. Nikita Kucherov notched two helpers and now has 11 points in his last 10 games. Currently sitting on 45 points, he’ll need a strong second half to reach 100 points for the third straight season. Mitchell Stephens and Brayden Point also scored for the Lightning. Andrei Svechnikov had the lone goal for Carolina. He already has 41 points in 42 games, well surpassing the 37 points he recorded in 82 freshman games in 2018-19. --Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
