Athletistic / Hockey. On the night of April 19, the last game of the NHL regular season for the 2023/2024 season took place. In Denver (Colorado, United States), the Colorado Avalanche met the Edmonton Oilers. The home team won with a score of 5:1.
Colorado offensive leader Nathan MacKinnon scored two assists last night. Based on the results of 82 regular season games, the Canadian forward accumulated 140 points (51+99) using the goal+pass system. Thus, McKinnon failed to catch Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov in the race for the title of top scorer of the NHL season. The Russian scored 144 (44+100) effective actions in the last regular season.
It was Kucherov who became the top scorer in the regular season of the National Hockey League for the 2023/2024 season. This is the second success of this type for him. For the first time, Nikita achieved such a result in the 2018/2019 season.
