Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Detroit Red Wings - News - October 17, 2025 | FOX Sports

Nikita Kucherov - Remains out Saturday Kucherov (illness) is expected to miss Saturday's clash against Columbus, per Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

Impact Kucherov was also absent for Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to Detroit. After Saturday's game, Tampa Bay is off until Thursday versus Chicago, so Kucherov will get some time to recover. Conor Geekie is likely to serve on the top six and receive some power-play ice time until Kucherov is ready to return.

Jonas Johansson - In goal versus Columbus Johansson will guard the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Johansson is playing the second half of a back-to-back. He won his first start with 30 saves on 33 shots against the Bruins on Monday. Andrei Vasilevskiy has struggled and may get more rest if he can't right the ship soon, which would open the door for Johansson to play more.
