Nikita Kucherov reaches 80-point mark as Lightning down Senators 4-3
OTTAWA — The Senators are finding it difficult to stay focused with the NHL’s trade deadline quickly approaching.
Nikita Kucherov picked up two assists Thursday night to hit the 80-point mark as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Senators 4-3 in Ottawa.
Senators players are well aware of Monday’s deadline at 3 p.m. EST, and some hinted it can’t come soon enough so the distraction can be over with.
“There’s definitely a little bit of anxiety in here,” said Mark Borowiecki.
