Kucherov milestone night leads Lightning past Red Wings. MORE:
Ryan McDonagh also scored for NHL-leading Tampa Bay, which has won 14 consecutive regular-season games against Detroit. Louis Domingue stopped 22 shots.
Kucherov, one of the front-runners for the NHL MVP award, has 110 points through 69 games. Former No. 1 overall pick Vinny Lecavalier held the previous franchise record, finishing with 108 points when he had 52 goals and 56 assists during the 2006-07 season. "Kuch is an unbelievable player," Lecavalier said in a statement."He is so dominant and talented that it is no wonder he broke my Lightning record for most points in a season. I'd like to personally congratulate Nikita for the accomplishment and wish him and the team further success as they approach the playoffs."
McDonagh also scored in the first on a wrist shot from the centre point, helping Tampa Bay build a 2-0 lead.
