Lightning leading scorer Nikita Kucherov not in camp

NHL, Tampa Bay Lightning

Tampa Bay Lightning leading scorer Nikita Kucherov is not in training camp, and the regular season looms less than two weeks away.

Kucherov, a restricted free agent, will now show up until he signs a new deal, his agent Scott Greenspun told Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman, according to tampabay.com.

Kucherov, 23, topped the Lightning with 66 points last season on 30 goals and 36 assists. He also paced the team in the playoffs with 11 goals and 19 points.

Despite not being in camp, Kucherov has been on the ice recently, playing for Team Russia in the World Cup of Hockey.
