Status report
Kucherov will be a game-time decision. The forward did not take part in the morning skate Thursday after missing the third period of a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday. ... Atkinson was recalled from Syracuse of the American Hockey League on Wednesday. ... Coach Jon Cooper said Kucherov's availability would determine if the Lightning used a lineup with 12 forwards and six defensemen, or 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which he opted for Tuesday. ... Ristolainen is "banged up," coach John Tortorella said. With the defenseman out, Zamula will play after being scratched from a 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.
