Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper speaks on Nikita Kucherov's injury he picked up in Game 3 and emphasizes his confidence in him to return for Game 4.

Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper says he expects star winger Nikita Kucherov to be in uniform for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Kucherov appeared to have injured his leg after a collision with Colorado Avalanche defenceman Devon Toews in the third period of Game 3 on Monday.

Cooper added on Tuesday that winger Corey Perry should also be good to go for Wednesday night's game.

Cooper was less enthusiastic about centre Brayden Point. The Lightning coach said Point remained day-to-day and was "highly doubtful" ahead of Game 4.
