Nikita Kucherov cannot be stopped.

The Tampa Bay Lightning superstar racked up four points Thursday night in the 6-0 victory over the Dallas Stars, just two days after picking up a goal and three assists against the Calgary Flames. In total, the 25-year-old has 11 points in his last three contests.

Kucherov's recent hot streak is helping him pull away in the Art Ross Trophy race, as he now has 92 points in 58 games. The Russian is now on pace for 130 points - a mark that hasn't been reached since 1995-96, when Pittsburgh Penguins teammates Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux racked up 149 and 161 points, respectively.
