Athletistic/Hockey. Last night, the Tampa Bay Lightning took on the Dallas Stars in an NHL home game. The meeting ended with the victory of the Lightning with a score of 4:0, and the Russians became its main heroes.
Andrey Vasilevsky played his first clean sheet this season. And striker Nikita Kucherov scored a goal today, opening the score in the eighth minute of the match. This allowed the 30-year-old Russian to extend his goal streak to ten games in the NHL.
It is noteworthy that for the eighth time in his NHL career, Kucherov had a streak of double-digit games with points scored. This allowed him to overtake the American Patrick Kane and the Czech David Pastrnak (both with 7 such series) and take fourth place among active players. Ahead of Nikita are now Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid (12), teammate Leon Draisaitl (9) and legendary Canadian captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby (11).
In 25 games this season, Nikita Kucherov has scored 42 (16+26) points using the goal+pass system, currently leading the NHL scoring race.
