Nikita Kucherov’s five-point effort leads Lightning over Oilers 6-3
EDMONTON — The longest point streak in the NHL this season will extend through the holiday break.
Nikita Kucherov had a goal and four assists while Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson each scored twice as the Tampa Bay Lightning extended their point streak to 12 games with a 6-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday.
“I’m just playing hockey and trying to enjoy the game, trying to make the right play every time and sometimes it doesn’t happen, sometimes it happen and today it happened,” Kucherov said.
J.T Miller also scored for the Lightning (28-7-2), who have gone an impressive 11-0-1 in their last 12 games.
