Nikita Kucherov Out Against Flyers
15 seconds agoTampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (illness) will not play on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. He will come out of the lineup after the team initially regarded Kucherov as a game-time decision for the contest. Defenseman Darren Raddysh will also exit the lineup, with Mitchell Chaffee and Cam Atkinson rejoining the action on the fourth line. Nick Paul will take Kucherov's place on the first line. On Thursday, Paul will have additional fantasy value, joining forces with elite forwards Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel. The 29-year-old will look to break out of an offensive slump after going scoreless in four of his past five appearances. Paul has totaled 35 points (19 goals, 16 assists) in 58 games across the season.
