Kucherov Riding Seemingly Effortless Hot Start

Nikita Kucherov has gotten off to a big start to the season in the scoring department for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Kucherov is currently riding an eight game point streak and has points in nine of the 10 games played. He currently finds himself sitting in second in the Atlantic Division scoring race with 15 points.

Kucherov even finds himself scoring goals in four straight games including the game winner on Tuesday night against Ottawa.

This game seemed to sum up Kucherov in a nutshell where there were some frustrating moments combined with some moments that can leave you speechless.

The toughest moments came Tuesday during a two man advantage in which a missed pass resulted in multiple short handed breakaways. The night was frustrating overall for the Lightning power play and eventually allowing a goal while up two men was the icing on the cake.

However, Kucherov would respond with two points in the third period en route to a Lightning victory.

He even added to his countless list of incredible passes on his touch pass to Brayden Point that sent him in alone to tie the game for the third straight game.

Tuesday night epitomized the Kucherov experience with the moments that left you shaking your head and then leaving you speechless the next. You may not notice him every single night, but he always finds his way on to the scoresheet, making it seem effortless at times.
