Three-point night ends drought Kuokkanen had a goal and two assists in Thursday's 6-3 win over Buffalo.
Impact Kuokkanen set up goals by linemates Jack Hughes and Yegor Sharangovich, and they returned the favor by teeing the Finn up for an empty-netter to finish the scoring. Though he came into this game mired in a six-game point drought and 12-game goal drought, Kuokkanen still has a solid 19 points in 33 games this season. He's carving out a nice role for himself at the NHL level after failing to record a point in 12 appearances spread across three seasons prior to this one.

Provides two apples Kuokkanen dished out a pair of assists and had two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 victory over Philadelphia.
Impact Kuokkanen set up Kyle Palmieri's power-play marker late in the first period and Yegor Sharangovich's even-strength strike to give the Devils a 3-1 lead. The 22-year-old Kuokkanen has been on a tremendous run the past two weeks, landing on the scoresheet in seven of his last nine games, with four goals and five assists during that stretch. He also boasts a healthy plus-7 rating in that time.

Piling up goals Kuokkanen scored a power-play goal on his lone shot and added two PIM in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Islanders on Sunday.
Impact Kuokkanen got the Devils on the board 5:12 into the game, jumping on a rebound and sweeping a backhander past New York netminder Ilya Sorokin. It was the fourth consecutive game with a goal for the 22-year-old, who had scored just once in his first 28 NHL games prior to his current streak. The bubble is bound to burst eventually -- Kuokkanen's last four goals have come on just six shots -- but it's a positive development for the Devils nonetheless.

Tickles twine in third straight Kuokkanen scored a goal on his only shot Saturday in a 3-2 loss to the Islanders.
Impact Kuokkanen gave the Devils a 2-1 lead just 64 seconds into the second period, diving to poke home a loose puck at the side of the crease. After scoring just once in his first 16 games, the 22-year-old has suddenly found the back of the net in each of his last three outings. However, those three goals have come on just five shots, so it's obviously not a sustainable pace for Kuokkanen.

Two-point effort Tuesday Kuokkanen scored a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Impact He potted New Jersey's first goal of the night in the second period, then helped the team stage a third-period comeback and force OT by helping set up Yegor Sharangovich. Kuokkanen hadn't found the scoresheet in any of his prior six games, and despite his current top-line assignment, the 22-year-old has only two goals and eight points through 17 contests.
