1988 Olympic Champion Alexander Mogilny I’m sure the Tampa Bay forward Nikita Koucherov will easily rewrite his own record for points scored among Russians during an NHL regular season.
The current record belongs to Kucherov: in the 2018/19 season he played all 82 matches and scored 128 points (41+87). This season, the Russian already has 127 points (42+85) in 73 matches. The NHL record for this indicator belongs to Wayne Gretzky – 215 points (52+163) in the 1985/86 season.
– Yes, he will win that in half a period! Judging by the way he plays, I think there are no questions on this topic, ”Mogilny said at the Championship.
Kucherov is 30 years old, in total he played 717 matches in regular NHL championships and scored 856 points (318+538). In the playoffs, the forward collected 160 points (53+107) in 142 games.
