Latest news
Kucherov put up two assists Tuesday in a 4-2 win over Detroit.
He set up Brayden Point on both goals; it was Point's first multi-goal game this season. Kucherov is on a four-game, seven-assist streak (10 shots), but he is stuck at four goals in 14 games after averaging 42 over the last three seasons. Kuch is shooting as much as he did last season, but his puck luck has been miserable. Last regular season, his shooting percentage was 19.0, but it's just 10.5 this year. Kucherov will go on a run soon, but it remains to be seen if that's in Tampa Bay or elsewhere.

Kucherov had three assists Saturday in a 5-4 shootout loss to Nashville.
It was another day in the office for the superstar despite the furor around his trade request. Late Friday, Bolts general manager Julien Brisbois made it clear, "We unequivocally have no intention of trading Nikita." Kucherov is on a three-game, five-assist streak that includes seven shots and four PIM. The reigning Hart Trophy winner is a fantasy cornerstone, so fingers crossed this doesn't get to the point of sitting out. So far, so good.

Kucherov is expected to continue playing for the Lightning while the team works on accommodating his trade request, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN on Friday.
Fantasy managers can rest easy for now, knowing Kucherov will stay in the lineup after his trade request went public Friday. However, as seen earlier this week with Dylan Larkin (suspension), the player can choose to stop playing at any time if they're not satisfied with the process. Kucherov is in the final year of his deal and will submit a 10-team list of approved destinations to help the Lightning reach a deal. Expect Kucherov to remain in a prominent role until a trade is imminent.

Kucherov logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.
With the helper, Kucherov is now Tampa Bay's all-time points leader with 1,138 in 890 regular-season games. He tied Steven Stamkos for the record Tuesday with a three-point effort. At 33, Kucherov has plenty of time to add to his totals, though he is slated for unrestricted free agency in the summer if he doesn't reach an extension with the Lightning. He's off to a great start this year with four goals, 10 helpers, 31 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 11 outings.

Kucherov scored a goal on two shots, added two assists (one on the power play) and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Golden Knights.
With the three-point effort, Kucherov is up to 1,137 points in his career, all with the Lightning, to tie Steven Stamkos for the most in franchise history. This was Kucherov's fifth multi-point effort in nine outings this season. He's up to four goals, nine assists, 26 shots on net and a plus-4 rating. The record watch will be on in full force when the Lightning visit the Avalanche on Friday.

Kucherov scored twice, including once on the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over Vancouver. He fired seven shots.
Kucherov keyed the comeback after the Canucks went up 2-0 early in the second period. The goals were his first since Opening Night on Oct. 1 against the Rangers, and snapped his two-game point drought. Kucherov has really ratcheted up his shot totals in the last two games. He has 15 in that span after getting nine in his first six outings this season. Overall, Kucherov has three goals, seven assists, three power-play points and 24 shots in eight contests this campaign.
