Snapshots: Injury Updates, Hamhuis

October 29, 2016 at 2:16 pm CDT | by Brett Barrett 3 Comments

Tampa Bay Lightning right winger Nikita Kucherov spoke to the media today, and provided an update to his status after he left Thursday night’s game versus the Montreal Canadiens. Kucherov took a hit and slammed into the boards in the first period.

Kucherov says he feels better and is considered day-to-day. The Lightning have called up Cory Conacher to replace him. Kucherov is currently tied with Alex Killorn for second among all Tampa Bay players with 7 points in 7 games.

Elsewhere around the NHL:

  • Julie Dobbs of Fox Sports South West provided an update about some injured Dallas Stars players. Center Jason Spezza (lower-body injury) will be a game-time decision on Saturday night, while Jiri Hudler (illness) also looks likely to play. Hudler was activated off IR on Saturday afternoon. Cody Eakin (knee), Mattias Janmark (knee), and Patrick Sharp (concussion) are all out long-term, but Ales Hemsky (groin) appears to be close to a return.
  • Dobbs also noted that Dam Hamhuis appears to be out of the lineup. The 34-year-old defenseman has 2 assists in 7 games. Mike Heika of the Dallas News noted yesterday that head coach Lindy Ruff “doesn’t quite trust” Hamhuis yet. Hamhuis signed a two-year, $7.5MM contract with the Stars in July. It appears that Stephen Johns will replace Hamhuis.

    This is 2 articles from 2 different writers now that obviously did not watch the game nor did the research on what actually happened to Kucherov. He had the puck in the neutral zone while skating towards his own blue line, killing time so the Lightning could make a line change and he spun at his blue line, lost his edge and slid into the boards awkwardly. No hit happened nor was there contact of any nature with a Habs player.

      I’m sorry if I’m coming off harshly but I’ve been an avid MLBTR reader for 10 years and I, like most, have come to expect a certain degree of accuracy from its writers.

        The nhl version of TR website is pretty garbage for now. Wrong photos,wrong names. I agree, reading the baseball version I have thought I’d get some accuracy here. But wAy off by a long shot
