THREE HARD LAPS

 

* Nikita Kucherov had 2-1—3 to lift the Lightning past the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final and reach the 30-point mark for the second time in as many postseasons.

* Brayden Point also posted three points for Tampa Bay, which opened the Final with a victory for the first time in franchise history.

* The NHL made several announcements before Game 1, including a new investment for diversity and inclusion programs as well as information for the 2021-22 outdoor games and 2022 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend.

KUCHEROV, POINT POWER LIGHTNING TO 1-0 SERIES LEAD IN STANLEY CUP FINAL
Nikita Kucherov (2-1—3) and Brayden Point (0-3—3) had three points apiece as Tampa Bay opened the Stanley Cup Final with a win against Montreal at AMALIE Arena. The Lightning have scored at least four goals in seven of 10 home games this postseason (4.2 G/GP).

* Kucherov (7-23—30 in 19 GP) leads the League with 30 points in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, four back of his total from the 2020 postseason (7-27—34 in 25 GP). He became the fourth player in NHL history with 30 or more points in multiple playoff years, joining Wayne Gretzky (6x), Mark Messier (3x), Jari Kurri (2x) and Mario Lemieux (2x).
* Kucherov picked up his 50th postseason assist since the start of 2020 to join Gretzky (60 from 1987-1988 and 52 from 1984-1985) as the second player in NHL history to record as many over two straight playoff years. Kucherov also trails only Gretzky (five instances) and Lemieux for the most combined points over two consecutive postseasons.

 

 

* Point became the first player in Lightning history with three assists in a Stanley Cup Final game; the last player on any team to do so was Torey Krug in Game 3 of the 2019 Final (w/ BOS).

* Kucherov (3-8—11) and Point (5-6—11) have found the score sheet in each of their last six contests during the Stanley Cup Final dating to Game 2 in 2020. They matched Evgeni Malkin (2008-2009) and Ryan O’Reilly (2019) for the longest such runs among active players (spanning seasons or otherwise). The last player to extend his Stanley Cup Final point streak to at least seven games was Sergei Fedorov.
