Nikita Kucherov Set to Return Against Blackhawks
Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Chicago Blackhawks. The back-to-back Art Ross Trophy winner has missed a pair of games due to illness, but he returned to practice earlier in the week. On Wednesday, Kucherov skated with Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli. Kucherov has experienced some early-season struggles, and it looks like Lightning head coach Jon Cooper wants to try to get him going with a new pair of linemates. In four appearances this season, Kucherov has been limited to three points (one goal, two assists), and he holds a minus-eight rating.
