Tonight Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov has received major backlash for a questionable hit on Montreal Canadiens defenseman Kaiden Guhle. Some believe that Nikita Kucherov will be facing a suspension shortly.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are pushing for a playoff spot at the end of the season. Now they will potentially be without forward Nikita Kucherov for a few games after a nasty hit on Kaiden Guhle.
Kucherov sees numbers here the entire way. Garbage hit and no call from the refs.
The hit is clearly to the back and left Kaiden Guhle with an injury that he could not continue in the game. Despite this outcome, Nikita Kucherov was not given a penalty or ejected from the game. Regardless this type of dangerous play likely warrants at least a fine if not a suspension.
As of now, there have not been updates on Kaiden Guhle's health. As updates are made about his health or the punishment for Nikita Kucherov we will pass that information along to you.
