Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov could return to the ice Monday for Game 6, according to head coach Jon Cooper.
Cooper told media members after the team's morning skate that the Russian winger is probable.
Kucherov, 21, left Game 5 on Saturday after taking an awkward spill into Corey Crawford's goal post during the first period. He didn't return to the game.
Kucherov says he's taking warmup and coach will decide if he's playing. Then #TBLightning spokesman ended interview and took him away.
