The Tampa Bay Lightning prevented the cannon from sounding Sunday afternoon in Columbus, but didn't leave Nationwide Arena unscathed.

Forwards Nikita Kucherov and Valtteri Filppula both exited with injuries, and did not return to the 4-0 win.

There was no update after the game, and Kucherov's issue remains unclear, but the Bolts did announce during the game that Filppula suffered an upper-body injury.

It's believed Filppula suffered the knock on a hit from Blue Jackets defender Fedor Tyutin.

Kucherov has 25 goals and 54 points this season, while the modest-scoring but useful Filppula has 28 points and appeared in every game for Tampa.
