Head coach of National Hockey League (NHL) club”Tampa Bay Lightning » John Cooper noted the high level of play of the Russian striker Nikita Koucherov in the current season.
On Sunday, Tampa lost to the Calgary Flames in the NHL regular season game with a score of 2:4. Kucherov made two assists.
— At the moment, Kucherov is playing better than the year he was recognized as MVP (at the end of the 2018/19 season). Of course, my assessment is biased, but now he is a level above the rest,” Cooper said according to The Athletic.
This season, Kucherov, 30, scored 52 points (20+32) in 31 regular season games. The Russian leads the race for scorers.
