Athletistic / Hockey. The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Boston Bruins (3:1) in an NHL regular season home game. One of the Lightning’s goals in this game was scored by Russian forward Nikita Kucherov.
In 71 matches this season, the 30-year-old Russian has scored 124 (42+82) points thanks to the goal+pass system. Currently, Kucherov is just four points away from the NHL record for the season among Russian players. Interestingly, this record was set by him in the 2018/2019 season.
Nikita Kucherov is now the leader in the NHL scoring race, one point ahead of Colorado Avalanche Canadian forward Nathan MacKinnon (123). Third place in this debate goes to Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid (119).
