Player Discussion: Nikita Kucherov - Part 3

Kuch is now just one point behind MacKinnon for 2nd in the league in scoring. Kuch missed two games and Colorado has played three more games than the Lightning.

He’s first in P/GP (1.75) trailed by McDavid (1.57), Kaprizov (1.55), Drai and MacK (both 1.52) and Point (1.46).
 
just to compare the pace he's on this year to last year



through the first 55 games of the season:

2024-25 : 25g + 57a = 82 points
2023-24 : 36g + 57a = 93 points
 
He hasn't had many chunk point games this season. Whole lot of 1 or 2 point nights - last season there were a ton of 4+ nights it felt like.
 
Sucks that he was injured with that upper body injury, Montreal is a just a team that deserves to be SHIT ON, idgaf what anybody says. Bro 100% missed out on a 7pt demolishing. Needs to take over at some point considering McDavids bare ass being right behind him. I seriously don't think any other player aside from McDavid or MacKinnon come close to sniffing this production. 🤷‍♂️
 
Has to be shooting less
Last year he was shooting more than any other season in his career, but shooting % is about average both this season and last.
