A historic chapter has been added to Tampa Bay Lightning history.

On today's Daily Strike, Steve Versnick takes a deeper look at Nikita Kucherov's record-breaking night as he became the franchise's all-time leading scorer, passing Steven Stamkos with his 1,138th career point during Saturday's game against the Utah Mammoth.
