John-Michael Liles To Face Hearing For Hit To Nikita Kucherov

The Tampa Bay Lightning had their hands full last night as they took on the Boston Bruins in their fourth and final meeting of the regular season. While the game may not have ended the way the Lightning would have hoped, it definitely wasn’t for a lack of trying. Unfortunately, the Lightning’s 1-0 overtime loss wasn’t the only thing weighing heavily on the minds of Tampa Bay Lightning fans.

In the final minutes of the first period, the Tampa Bay Lightning had what could easily be described as the breathtakingly scary moment on the ice involving one of the Lightning’s key offensive players, Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov.
