Nikita Kucherov Gets Injured In Game 3 Of Stanley Cup Final
3 years agoTampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov appeared to have suffered a leg injury late in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. He was hurt with a little over six minutes left in regulation when took an awkward fall into the boards after he was cross-checked by Colorado defenseman Devon Toews. Kucherov remained on the ice at first for the start of a five-on-three power play, but he clearly felt uncomfortable and left the game soon after. The former MVP put together a big performance before getting injured, registering two assists with six shots, two hits and a plus-three rating. Additionally, he became only the fourth player in NHL history to tally 25-plus points in three consecutive postseasons. With Brayden Point (undisclosed) having already missed Monday's action, Tampa will be desperately hoping that Kucherov isn't forced to miss any games.
