Nikita Kucherov left the game injured - was this hit dirty or clean?

Last night the Tampa Bay Lightning got some revenge on the Colorado Avalanche scoring 6 goals and defeating them 6-2 in game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

The Avalanche currently hold a 2-1 series lead, but so did the Rangers last series and we know how that turned out.

The Bolts were already without Brayden Point for this game, and with only a few minutes left in the game, Kucherov left with an injury as well.

The boys at Spittin Chiclets were not a fan of the hit.
