Nikita Kucherov A Game-Time Call On Thursday
58 seconds agoTampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (illness) is a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. Kucherov exited their previous contest on Tuesday due to this illness and could be a danger of missing this evening's contest. He was also not present during Thursday's morning skate, which suggests he may face an uphill battle to be cleared. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to puck drop. Before Tuesday's contest, Kucherov tallied an impressive 13 points (three goals) over his last 10 contests. During this span, he tallied 27 shots on goal with a +5 rating. If Kucherov were to sit out this evening, fantasy managers should expect Oliver Bjorkstrand to move up to the second offensive line.
