Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Tampa Bay now has a few all-stars on its hands. Yesterday, the NHL announced Tampa Bay Lightning right winger and alternate captain Nikita Kucherov was named to the NHL First All-Star team. This is Kucherov's fourth time to be voted into the First Team, and while he was the only Bolts player to make it, defenseman Victor Hedman, goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy and left winger Brandon Hagel will all represent the Lightning as All-Stars on the Second Team. The nominees were voted on by representatives of the Professional Hockey Writers Association after the regular season ended. And yes, this does give us more bragging rights.
