Tampa Bay Lightning could have forward Nikita Kucherov back for game 6 as Tampa Bay looks to hold off elimination and force a game 7. The Score brings us the details.
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov could return to the ice Monday for Game 6, according to head coach Jon Cooper.
Cooper told media members after the team’s morning skate that the Russian winger is probable.
Kucherov, 21, left Game 5 on Saturday after taking an awkward spill into Corey Crawford’s goal post during the first period. He didn’t return to the game.
