Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov wasted no time in making a name for himself with the Bolts. Along with his former linemates Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat, Nikita Kucherov has been responsible for a great deal of the Lightning’s scoring prowess over the course of the past few seasons.
Kucherov may have gotten off to a slow start this season, but it almost seems as if this was a lifetime ago at this point. In some cases, the sins of the past seem to vanish when a player has finally found the road to redemption.
