Nikita Kucherov Scores Overtime Winner as Lightning Defeat Wild

Tampa Bay Lightning star Nikita Kucherov buried a power-play goal 3:23 into overtime off a feed from Jake Guentzel to seal a 4-3 comeback victory over the Minnesota Wild. The game-winner snapped a seven-game goal drought for Kucherov, the reigning NHL MVP who recently requested a trade amid contract uncertainty before reaching unrestricted free agency on July 1. Tampa Bay extended its point streak to six games (4-0-2).
