Nikita Kucherov is being raked over the coals for a dirty and dangerous play on Saturday night. Tampa Bay Lightning star forward Nikita Kucherov is facing a barrage of criticism on Sunday after a dirty play on Saturday night that left another player injured.

Kucherov’s game-winner came after Jake Guentzel tipped in his pass in front of the net to tie it 3-3 on the power play with 42 seconds remaining in the third period for the Lightning, who outshot the Blackhawks 17-1 in the period.

The Lightning finally had some breathing room. That proved to be important when the Kings received a power play at 17:03. They pulled Rittich for an extra attacker. The Lightning held Los Angeles to only one SOG during the six-on-four (a long-range attempt from Drew Doughty) before Cirelli tracked a Hagel clear and tallied an empty-netter at 18:43.
