Nikita Kucherov claims another record as the Lightning beat the Leafs 3-1

The Lightning defeated the Maple Leafs 3-1 in a game that was meaningless in some ways but record setting in others. Jake Gardiner played his first game for the Leafs in over a month. Ryan Callahan drew into the lineup as JT Miller was a healthy scratch for the Lightning.

In terms of playoff positioning, both teams had their spots locked up so neither had anything to gain by winning. But ignoring the standings implications, the Lightning hit several historical markers.

Nikita Kucherov scored his 126th point of the season passing Joe Thornton in 2005-2006 for the salary cap era record.
