Head Coach”Vancouver Canucks » Rick Toquet said the Russian striker Andrei Kuzmenko – a good hockey player, but he has something to work on.
On Tuesday, Kuzmenko scored twice in the NHL regular season game against the Chicago Blackhawks (5-2) and was recognized as the game’s first star.
— Kuzmenko plows like a horse. He’s a very good hockey player, but he has work to do, he can become an even better player. Kuzmenko enters the game, tries to defend better. Andrei constantly circles the gate and holds the puck well,” Tocquet told the Canucks website.
Kuzmenko called both goals good teamwork.
– We have a good line with Mikheev and Pettersson. They are great players. Two goals is good teamwork,” Kuzmenko said.
This season, the 26-year-old Russian has scored 43 points (21 goals + 22 assists) in 46 NHL games.
