6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (lower body) has returned to practice and looks ready to play in the team's first game of the season on Saturday against Florida. It was also against the Panthers that the Russian sniper suffered his injury last week. Kucherov had a superb year for the Bolts last season, breaking the 100-point plateau and scoring 39 goals in 80 games. He had a disappointing ending to the year in the playoffs, picking up just one point in the final four games of the Eastern Conference Finals against Washington, so he should be very eager to start off on the right foot which is great news for all fantasy owners that are lucky enough to have him in their roster.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
