Picks up two helpers Kucherov recorded two assists in Tampa Bay's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto in Game 4 on Monday.
Impact Kucherov has a goal and six points in four postseason contests this year. This has been a fantastic month for him overall, with the 29-year-old contributing three goals and 15 points in 10 outings. Kucherov serves on Tampa Bay's top line and first power-play unit. The Lightning will likely lean on him heavily again Thursday, especially with Tampa Bay down in the series 3-1 and thus looking to stave off elimination.

Fights in overtime loss Kucherov picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto in Game 3.
Impact He tackled Morgan Rielly in the third period after the defender and Brayden Point went hard into the boards, injuring Point. Kucherov took exception and then spent a chunk of the final frame in the box. He plays with an extra edge in the postseason -- he has 110 PIM in 139 playoff games, which is a significant uptick from his regular-season style (319 PIM in 644 games played). Kucherov was dangerous all night, firing six shots, but he couldn't solve Ilya Samsonov. Expect an inspired offensive game in Game 4. Kucherov can't be held down for long.
