Nikita Kucherov suffers lower-body injury
The injuries are beginning to pile up on the Lightning, with the NHL trade deadline on the horizon. In addition to Kucherov and Cirelli, captain Stamos also is nursing a lower-body issue; he was scratched on Tuesday, his second consecutive missed game
Kucherov, last season's Hart Trophy winner as the league's regular-season MVP, had an assist on three shots in 15 shifts before the injury. That assist extended his points streak to 12 games, and he now has 70 on the season.
