AP, ANAHEIM, CaliforniaNikita Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning are taking their incredible roll right into the new year. The Lightning on Monday won their sixth straight game and finished the month unbeaten in regulation after a 2-1 overtime victory against the Anaheim Ducks. They went 12-0-1 last month and are the eighth NHL team in the past 10 years to finish a calendar month without a regulation loss after playing a minimum of eight games. “When you’re hot, you’re hot, and it seems like everyone is getting hot at the same time,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “You have to take advantage when times like this happen.”Kucherov had a goal and an assist for his ninth multi-point game in the month.
