The only reason why I suspected rib or groin because of how Pelech pinned him in game 3 and he collapsed like he couldn’t put pressure on his leg. Kucherov as well is pretty banged up and didn’t seem too much like himself after his injury scare last night. It’ll be an interesting 1/2 games to see what lineups show up tomorrow (and Saturday if necessary).
By late in the game, I thought Kuch was back to himself. He was attacking the Isles' D, which is always a good sign with him. Kucherov can become too predictable by trying to be unpredictable all the time, which leads to all the extra passes and flinging the puck on net from weird angles (this often works though). When he's really on his game, he sometimes tries to go straight through the defender.
The Point injury is a weird one. One he got up, he looked labored, but I wouldn't quite call it limping. Groin injuries can be tricky (I suspect this is what's up with Stamkos), and sometimes they're more about an ability to lift your leg rather than put weight on it. And maybe that's why he looked "labored." But he might also have just been in pain. It's a tough one to read. But throughout Game 4, he looked uncomfortable, but not all that much slower. Maybe 5%-10%?
I think/hope we held him out of the last game because of the lead we had. Like, even with a loss, we'd still be ahead, which wasn't the case in Game 3 when he was held out. We're a different team when he's in the line-up, obviously.
