Five NHL players looking to have breakout seasons in 2018-19

[admin]

All-stars Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov helped lead Tampa Bay to the top of*the*Eastern Conference*standings last season and a league-high 54 wins, but it was the breakout*performances from forwards Brayden Point and Yanni Gourde that made the Lightning the highest-scoring team in the league. The 22-year-old Point scored 32 goals and 66 points while Gourde had 24 goals and 64 points to finish third and fourth, respectively, in team scoring behind Kucherov and Stamkos despite entering their sophomore seasons with little expectations.
