The Bolts Best Player of the Month for November is once again reigning champ Nikita Kucherov.

The perennial point machine notched 3 goals and 14 assists in the month of November. A typical Kucherov stretch that saw the Bolts winger score his 900th point of his career, putting him third all-time in Lightning history behind Martin St. Louis (953) and Steven Stamkos (1137).

So far, Kucherov is on pace for his fifth 100-point season and is the only player in franchise history with multiple 100+ seasons due to his uncanny knack for finding his teammates.

"He’s not selfish whatsoever,” Wayne Gretzky told the Lightning’s Ben Pierce. “And I think that without question you look at some of the top players–McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews–but the one thing that Kuch has probably as good or better than anybody in the game is he sees the ice so well.”
