In the match against Toronto (6:4), Kucherov delivered his 100th assist this season. The Russian became the fifth hockey player in NHL history to reach this record during the regular season, and the first European to total 100 assists in a championship.
— This is not the first season that Kucherov achieves good results and proves that he is a star in the NHL. I want to rejoice and admire these numbers. I’m sure he will break his own records every year. I have no doubt that he will bring great benefits to Tampa in the playoffs, because he is the leader of the team and he leads the team with him. The club has already won the trophy twice and will fight this year,” Kamensky said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
