Vancouver Forward Andrei Kuzmenko is having a brilliant first season in the NHL, the two-time Gagarin Cup winner as part of Dynamo Moscow told Metaratings.ru. Sergei Konkov .
Because of Russia 43 (21 + 22) points scored in 48 matches.
— Kuzmenko is having a brilliant first season. In Vancouver, he’s settled down and plays on the front row with Swedish center Elias Pettersson – both players make the difference. Andriy has just under a point per game schedule, but a harmonious number of goals and assists. Kuzmenko shows a very solid level.
The two-year contract he just signed is the hallmark of his game. He’s a big guy. I wish him to continue on the same path and to go to the level of more points scored per game. In any case, there is a period of adaptation, this season is made to gain experience. I dare to assume that the future will be even more successful.
Konkov also enjoyed the performance of Kirill Marchenko, who plays for Columbus. The hockey player has 13 goals and zero assists in 26 games, and his team closes the Eastern Conference standings.
– Marchenko shows an excellent result. He has 0.5 goals – that’s a high stat for a rookie, especially since he hasn’t made his NHL debut this season. Apparently his time at the agricultural club the Cleveland Jackets allowed him to prove himself better – he plays with confidence, he came out on the majority special team with Jenner and Gaudreau.
Back in the KHL, it was obvious that Kirill had great potential. Let’s see how the season ends. He caught the eye with the game. No help? I think it’s a matter of time. It cannot be said that he is only a goal player and cannot participate in combinations.
It is a unique case, but it has drawn attention to itself. And the goals he scores are quite interesting. Even tonight, through the doors. I’m sure he will play with the guys and benefit the team not only with goals, but also with assists,” Konkov said.
