Former head coach of the Russian national hockey team Vladimir Pluschev believes that the attacker Tampa Bay Nikita Koucherov It is difficult to call him the best hockey player in Russia.
This NHL season, Kucherov scored 136 points (43 goals, 93 assists) in 76 games. He leads the league’s scoring race.
— Can Nikita now be considered the strongest hockey player in the country? You know, it’s a complex concept: the strongest hockey player in Russia. Kucherov is having a good season, he is proving his importance to Tampa, but Malkin, Ovechkin and many other guys have had the same brilliant seasons. The strongest striker is Valery Kharlamov,” Plyushchev told Metaratings.
None of the Russians scored more points during the NHL regular season than Kucherov. This season he updated his own record, the previous one having been set in the 2018/19 season (128 points).
