Four straight 100-point seasons Kucherov had four assists in a 5-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact It was Kucherov's fourth consecutive 100-point season and sixth of his career. He's among elite company. Kucherov is tied with Leon Draisaitl (four from 2021-22 to 2024-25) for the third-most among players born and trained outside North America. Peter Stastny delivered 100 points six seasons in a row (1980-81 to 1985-86), and Jari Kurri hit the century mark five seasons in a row (1982-83 to 1986-87). Kucherov sits third in the NHL in points, but his 1.75 points per game is the best in the NHL.

Extends point streak to 12 games Kucherov scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Given his recent production, a single goal is a bit of a light output for Kucherov. He has eight goals and 20 helpers over 12 contests during his current point streak, and he's been held off the scoresheet just once in his last 23 games. The superstar winger is at 31 goals, 95 points, 160 shots on net, 38 PIM and a plus-33 rating through 53 appearances this season.

Records 700th assist Friday Kucherov scored a goal, recorded two assists, put two shots on net and tallied two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Toronto.

Impact Kucherov's three-point outing was highlighted by a primary assist on the team's second goal in less than 60 seconds, which became No. 700 in his career. With Wednesday's strong performance, the 32-year-old winger is up to 30 goals, 64 assists and 158 shots on goal across 52 games this season. Kucherov's trio of points brought his point total up to 27 during his 11-game point streak. He's on the heels of Connor McDavid in the race for the Art Ross Trophy, and given Kucherov's hot streak of 51 points across his last 21 games, he should stay at the heart of the conversation until the end of the regular season.
