Former defenseman for several KHL clubs Nikita Shchitov named Russian striker from Tampa Nikita Koucherov “hockey fanatic”
Kucherov became the top scorer in the 2023/24 NHL regular season and won the Art Ross Trophy. In 81 matches, he scored 144 points – 44 goals and 100 assists. Tampa will face Florida in the first round of the playoffs.
— What Nikita Kucherov is doing is fantastic. This man is a hockey fanatic, it shows in him. He is incredibly immersed in the game and gives his all to it. Kucherov has a colossal work ethic. All of this gives these results.
Of course, Nikita has very good partners. Somewhere there is luck, where without it. Thank goodness Kucherov avoided serious injuries during the season. Nikita is an incredible player, I really like what he shows on the pitch. He is a good example for the younger generation. I’m sure Kucherov is many boys’ idol. It would be great if he gave an interview and told how he managed to achieve such results,” Shchitov told .
Nikita Kucherov is 30 years old, he is a two-time Stanley Cup winner with Tampa (2020, 2021).
