Nikita Kucherov tallied two goals tonight, including the record breaking goal to beat Vincent Lecavalier‘s record for most points in a season by a Lightning player. The goal increased the lead to 2-0 and came off a great forecheck by defenseman Victor Hedman getting the puck to Brayden Point, who slid it to Kucherov for the tally.
The Lightning opened the scoring off of a shot from the point by Ryan McDonagh. After a faceoff win by Alex Killorn, Erik Cernak slid the puck over the McDonagh and he shot it past a screened Jonathan Bernier.
