Nikita Kucherov hit 1,100 points tonight for the Lightning after passing 1k earlier this season. He’s the 19th player in NHL history to hit the mark before his 900th game.
Nikita Kucherov (863 GP) became the 14th player born outside of North America to reach the 1,100-point mark and the fourth fastest on that list to achieve the feat, behind Peter Stastny (793 GP), Jari Kurri (824 GP) and Jaromir Jagr (825 GP).

Midgame trade for the Lightning: The #GoBolts have traded forwards Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne to Detroit in exchange for D Ian Mitchell.
Mitchell, 27, has 4-16—20 in 45 AHL GP and 110 NHL games on his resume. He will report to the Syracuse Crunch.
Embarrassing
Both should have been called, but it should be a 2. And if you want to misconduct Hagel fine. But giving them a 4 min pp is a joke
About to do the same.
Refs are incompetent this game. Waste of time to watch this garbage
It ruins the game. I’m not watching it to watch an actual game. Not an out of control game because they refuse to call the other team and hand out misconducts
Zebras need to get the game under control.
That being a 5 on 3 is a joke
Nikita Kucherov reached the triple-digit milestone for the 2025-26 campaign and tied Leon Draisaitl (4 from 2021-22 to 2024-25) for the third most consecutive 100-point seasons by a player born and trained outside of North America.

PHI claims Glendening
VAN claims Douglas
FLA claims Reinhardt
Forward Curtis Douglas gets claimed on waivers by the Vancouver Canucks. All the best to the now former #GoBolts forward.
Corey Perry is heading back to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a second round pick, per Darren Dreger.
Michigan State Hockey three-peated as Big Ten Champions last night after downing the Gophers in Minneapolis.
Hearing Mathieu Joseph (STL) -- who cleared waivers last week -- is heading back on today for the purposes of contract termination.
If he clears again, he becomes a UFA and, as long as he signs before 3pm (ET) Friday, would be eligible for the playoffs.
Douglas (TB)
I'm told #stlblues Colton Parayko is open to a trade to a different destination, and of course prefers to stay in St. Louis.
But not Buffalo - an outcome not all that different than Tyler Myers with Detroit.
Now, will another team pay the same price Buffalo put on the table?
Officially, Colton Parayko has declined to waive his no-trade clause to Buffalo -- as is his contractual right.
We will see where we go from here
Injury updates for the Lightning:
#GoBolts forward Gage Goncalves is day to day with a lower body injury.
