Kucherov's Century Mark: Lightning Snap Skid

0:00On March 8th, here's the latest surrounding the NHL. Tampa Bay Lightning dominated the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 5-2 win at home. Superstar Nikita Kucherov hit his 100th point of the season on an assist for an empty net goal. This marked his 6th career century mark and his 4th straight 100-point year. Kucherov now joins Elite Company as just the third non-North American player to hit that streak alongside Leon Drysaddle. Only two others in history have done more among international stars, like Peter Stasney, was 6 in a row back in the 80s. He leads the league in points per game at 1.75. The victory snapped Tampa Bay's 4-game losing streak and boosted their Atlantic division standing. For Toronto, it was their 7th loss in a row, leaving them 8 points out of the Eastern Conference playoff spot with time running short. Kucherov dished out 4 assists in the game, fueling a 4 goal first period after Toronto scored first.

1:01Newcomer Corey Perry nashed a goal in his debut, while goalie Andre Vasilevsky may 27 saves to stay hot. Tampa Bay hopes to build momentum heading into the stretch run, while the Leafs fight to halt their slide and salvage playoff hopes. We'll see how both teams respond in the coming weeks.
