Nikita Kucherov Out With Lower-Body Injury
6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov left Tuesday's preseason game against the Florida Panthers with a lower-body injury. The issue does not appear to be too serious but head coach Jon Cooper did not want to commit to a time-frame for recovery just yet. Kucherov, as expected, is not in the lineup for Thursday's tilt with the Panthers. The 25-year-old is coming off a monster 2017-2018 season in which he posted 100 points (39 goals, 61 assists) to go along with a 36 power play points and 279 shots on goal.
