Considered day-to-day Kucherov (undisclosed) is day-to-day and isn't expected to play against the Islanders on Saturday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Kucherov will miss at least one game, but a timeline for his return to the lineup is unclear. He has compiled 12 goals, 34 points and 81 shots on net through 25 outings this season. Tampa Bay will probably have Victor Hedman (undisclosed) back in the fold against the Islanders on Saturday, but the team will be without Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed).

The 32-year-old superstar is up to 11 goals, 16 helpers, 63 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 21 appearances this season. While he missed a couple of games earlier in the campaign, Kucherov's still tracking toward a 100-point season for the fourth year in a row.

Three helpers in Monday's win Kucherov notched three assists in Monday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

Impact Tampa Bay's top line of Kucherov, Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli accounted for basically all of the team's offense on the night -- Emil Lilleberg got an assist on Hagel's first of two goals, but otherwise that trio recorded every one of the Bolts' points. Kucherov has gotten onto the scoresheet in six straight games, piling up three goals and 11 points during that hot streak, and the Lightning will lean on the 32-year-old superstar even more heavily while Brayden Point (undisclosed) is sidelined.

In action against Flyers Kucherov (undisclosed) will be in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hagel scores twice as Lightning hold on to top Capitals 5-3

Brandon Hagel scored two goals and added two assists and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Saturday night

NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Hurt in Saturday's game Kucherov (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Capitals, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Kucherov sustained the injury after a hit early in the second period, and he was unable to get back in the contest. Any potential absence looms large for one of the league's best players. Kucherov's status should be updated prior to Monday's game versus the Flyers. Jack Finley would be the top candidate to enter the lineup if Kucherov misses time, but Nick Paul or Oliver Bjorkstrand would likely get the biggest bumps in ice time.

One of each Tuesday Kucherov tallied a goal, picked up an assist, placed four shots on net and served two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.

Impact Kucherov buried a shot off a no-look pass from Anthony Cirelli to put the Lightning up by a pair. Kucherov also helped out on the final goal of Jake Guentzel's hat trick. The 32-year-old Kucherov has been heating up as of late, with Tuesday's performance raising his point streak to three games. Overall, he has nine goals, 18 points and 52 shots on goal through 17 games this season. The back-to-back Art Ross Trophy winner over the past two seasons has a mountain to climb to get back into the conversation for the award this year, as Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon currently leads the league with 33 points in 19 games. Regardless, Kucherov remains in a strong situation to produce offensively and has plenty of time to reach the 100-point threshold. If he can continue this momentum and score over 100 points, it would be his fourth season in a row hitting the century mark.
