First coach Nikita Koucherov Gennady Kurdin told that the attacker “Tampa” has already written his name in the history of Russian hockey.
Tampa beat San Jose 4-1 on the road Thursday. Kucherov designed a poker wizard. The Russian has reached 122 points (41+81) for the season and leads the NHL scoring race, five points ahead of Colorado forward Nathan MacKinnon.
— This year, Nikita will update his points record. If he continues to play at the same pace, he will still score his 15-20 points. He’s great, he plays for fun and brings joy to the fans. I’m happy for him too! Nikita has already written his name in the history of Russian hockey. The main thing is that your health does not fail you,” Kurdin told .
Kucherov became the first Russian to score 120 or more points more than once during the NHL regular season. Previously, Kucherov scored 128 (41+87) points in the 2018/19 season. Among Russians, Alexander Mogilny (127, 1992/93 season) and Sergei Fedorov (120, 1993/94) also scored 120 or more points during the regular season.
