The Tampa Bay Lightning, celebrating their 33rd season in the NHL, have a rich history of offensive talent. With Steven Stamkos recently concluding his tenure with the team with a franchise-leading 1,137 points, the spotlight shifts to current players who have the potential to reach the coveted 1,000-point milestone while wearing a Lightning jersey.

Nikita Kucherov: Achieved Milestone

On October 25, 2025, Nikita Kucherov became the second player in Lightning history to reach 1,000 career points with the team. He achieved the milestone in a game against the Anaheim Ducks, recording an assist on Jake Guentzel's goal. Kucherov is among the fastest active players to reach 1,000 points, accomplishing the feat in 809 games. Only Connor McDavid (659 games) and Sidney Crosby (757 games) reached the mark in fewer games among active players. Kucherov's journey to 1,000 points stands as a testament to his skill and impact on the franchise. As of November 12, 2025, Kucherov has 1,008 points with the Lightning.

Victor Hedman: Veteran Presence

Victor Hedman, a cornerstone of the Lightning's defense since 2009, is also climbing the ranks. While defensemen typically don't reach the same scoring heights as forwards, Hedman has consistently contributed offensively throughout his career. As of November 12, 2025, Hedman has 806 points with the Lightning. He would need 194 more points to reach 1,000.

Brayden Point: Rising Star

Brayden Point, a dynamic center, has emerged as a key offensive contributor for the Lightning. Since his debut in 2016, Point has consistently showcased his scoring ability and playmaking skills. As of November 12, 2025, Point has accumulated 644 points with the team. At 29 years old, Point has the potential to reach the 1,000-point mark, but would need 356 more points.

Anthony Cirelli: Two-Way Talent

Anthony Cirelli is a valuable two-way center known for his defensive responsibility and offensive contributions. While not primarily an offensive player, Cirelli has consistently chipped in with goals and assists throughout his career. As of November 12, 2025, Cirelli has 525 points with the Lightning. Reaching 1,000 points would be a significant achievement, requiring him to add 475 points to his total.

The journey to 1,000 career points is a testament to a player's skill, longevity, and dedication to the team. While the path may be challenging, these players have the potential to etch their names in Lightning history.
