Athletistic / Hockey. Nikita Kucherov made the big leagues. He is the fifth hockey player in NHL history to record 100 assists in the regular season.
Last night, Tampa beat Toronto with a score of 6:4. Kucherov scored a goal and an assist.
This assist was Nikita’s 100th during this regular season. Thus, Kucherov became the first Russian to reach this mark and the fifth hockey player in the entire history of the NHL. Before Nikita, only Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr and McDavid reached this milestone. Moreover, Connor was also able to reach this mark this season. The rest of the hockey players reached this mark in the last century.
