Leading playoff scorer Nikita Kucherov is expected to miss the entire regular season be- cause of a hip injury that re- quires surgery, a blow to the Tampa Bay Lightning that also comes with a silver lining for the defending Stanley Cup champions. Kucherov won’t be available for the 56-game NHL season that’s scheduled to run from Jan. 13-May 8. General manager Julien BriseBois is optimistic the 27-year-old will be back for the playoffs and said Kucherov’s absence will allow Associated Press the Lightning the long-term sal- Miami Heat forward Maurice Harkless, left, defends as Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (9) receives a pass during the first half ary relief to be salary-cap com- of a game Wednesday in Orlando. pliant with the rest of their key players under contract. “Those are the cards that Evan Fournier has late surge, helps Orlando win opener over Miami we’ve been dealt,” BriseBois said on a video call Wednesday.
