According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Nikita Kucherov will not be in the lineup for the club’s matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
This is certainly a tough blow for the Lightning, as Kucherov is their top forward, and the Maple Leafs are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference so far this season.

Kucherov has 12 goals and 34 points in 22 games this season with the Bolts.
