Nikita Kucherov shone for the Tampa Bay Lightning, scoring his fourth goal of the season in a 5-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks during their hurricane-delayed home opener.

The Lightning, who had their previous game postponed due to Hurricane Milton, saw contributions from Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli, and Brandon Hagel, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 26 saves. Vancouver struggled, managing only one goal from Conor Garland.

Kucherov's impressive start includes points in all of Tampa Bay's first five goals, placing him among elite company in NHL history.
