As the race for NHL individual awards heats up, Nikita Kucherov distinguishes himself by leading in points per game (1.57). Currently, he sits fourth in Hart Trophy odds but boasts a strong argument for his candidacy. With 83 points in 53 games, Kucherov demonstrates exceptional value to his team, driving offensive lines effectively. His clutch ability, evidenced by seven game-winning goals, adds to his appeal as a top candidate for the MVP award, despite being overlooked amidst competitors like Leon Draisaitl and Nathan MacKinnon.
"With 83 points in 53 games this season, it's fairly safe to say that Nikita Kucherov can drive a line. Through 46 games together, the line of Jake Guentzel, Brayden Point and Kucherov is averaging 3.82 goals per 60 minutes..."
"Somehow, the skater who's averaging more points/game (1.57) than any other -- more than Draisaitl, Nathan MacKinnon, Connor McDavid etc. -- is listed at +1000 to secure an individual award many believe he deserved last season."
