Lightning’s Nikita Kucherov Notches 1,000th Career Point With Assist

Kudra to point to the back and in front scores. 21 Lightning and that is 1,000 points for Nikita Coachov. Jake Kensel is going to get this goal and he did it with his feet. And the reason the players are out is exactly what you said Dave to congratulate Nikita Cucherov for a,000 points. Only the second Tampa Bay Lightning to ever do it. And he did it faster than Steven Stamco did. He’ll be able to take a deep breath after that one. He’s been pressing. He’s been pushing. any any players who have milestones, I mean, they want to get there as quickly as they can just so that they don’t even have to think about it anymore. And now that he has it, you can see he’s relishing it. He doesn’t ever give himself much time to enjoy anything personal. It’s really good to see him do this. He’s not wrapped up in personal stats at all, but he knows this is big. And he’s thanking the fans who have pushed him to be perfect night after night. And here’s another look on the regroup here. A quick up. They catch a couple of Anaheim Ducks. The pass across right here. Watch how the puck goes in. See, it goes in off the feet of Gensel, but Cucherov starts the play. Right side to the left side, back to the right side. And there’s Gensel putting it in. Just redirected. Didn’t kick it in. That’s not a direct kicking motion. I’m sure Anaheim looked at it. It is a good goal. It does count. And for Cooer, it counts as point number 1,000.

Watch as Tampa Bay Lightning’s Nikita Kucherov gets an assist on Jake Guentzel’s goal to become just the 101st NHL player ever to reach 1000 career points.
