Niklas Kronwall Suspended For Game 7 For Charging Nikita Kucherov

The Tampa Bay Lightning fans both here in the Bolts Nation and around the rest of the world can rest a little easier today knowing that the National Hockey League has their backs.

As most of you know by now, there was a rather frightening moment during last night’s Game 6 encounter at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. In the final minutes of the second period, Nikita Kucherov attempted to play the puck into the neutral zone when he was destroyed by a blatant hit to the head from Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall.
