Two points in Monday's win Kucherov scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 2-0 win over the Flyers.
Impact His GWG late in the first period came on a brilliant solo effort, as he stole the puck in his own zone and out-raced the Philly defense down the ice before beating Ivan Fedotov on the breakaway. Kucherov has produced six multi-point performances in 15 appearances since the beginning of February, racking up six goals and 20 points over that span. The 31-year-old superstar has also established a new career high with nine game-winning goals on the season.

Assist in return from illness Kucherov (illness) picked up an assist Saturday in a 6-2 win against Boston.
Impact Kucherov played 19:25 and fired three shots. He had missed Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss at Philadelphia. Kucherov is firmly in third spot in the NHL with 93 points. Both Nathan MacKinnon and Leon Draisaitl have already cracked the century mark, and the guy who's fourth on the list has 85 points (Connor McDavid). Make sure he's in your lineup.

Good to play Saturday Kucherov (illness) is good to return Saturday versus Boston, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.
Impact Kucherov missed Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia due to the illness. He has 28 goals and 92 points in 61 appearances in 2024-25. Kucherov was one of just 11 forwards on the ice for Tampa Bay during Saturday's pregame warmups, so the Lightning are expected to dress seven defensemen. Forwards Mitchell Chaffee and Cam Atkinson are expected to be healthy scratches, while Darren Raddysh is set to serve as the seventh blueliner.

Unavailable Thursday Kucherov (illness) will miss Thursday's clash against Philadelphia, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.
Impact Kucherov has 28 goals and 92 points in 61 appearances in 2024-25. His absence will likely result in Nick Paul moving up to the top line to play alongside Jake Guentzel and Brayden Point. Cam Atkinson is set to draw into the lineup after being a healthy scratch Tuesday.

Game-time call Thursday Kucherov (illness) will be a game-time decision versus Philadelphia on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Impact Kucherov left Tuesday's tilt in Carolina after the second period due to his illness and was a no-show at practice Thursday. Kucherov has 28 goals and 64 helpers over 61 appearances this season. Should Kucherov remain out of the lineup, look for Zemgus Girgensons to enter the lineup.

Misses third period Tuesday Kucherov (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Impact Kucherov was reportedly under the weather earlier in the day, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun, but it's unclear if that was the reason for his absence to close out the contest, as head coach Jon Cooper did not provide a specific update. Kucherov can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game in Philadelphia.
