The Russian attackerTampa Bay » Nikita Koucherov underestimated, despite his leadership in the race for scorers, believes the Lightning striker Steven Stamkos .
On Sunday, Tampa lost to the Calgary Flames in the NHL regular season game with a score of 2:4. Kucherov made two assists.
“To me, there is nothing surprising about his success. I see him working every day in the summer and every day during the season to improve. He wants to improve and become better. For a guy who leads the league in points, he still seems underrated in terms of our game and what he brings to it.
He may not have McDavid’s speed or MacKinnon’s power, but he has it all. His vision and hockey IQ are off the charts,” Stamkos was quoted as saying by The Athletic.
This season, Kucherov, 30, scored 52 points (20+32) in 31 regular season games. The Russian leads the race for scorers.
