Thanks to a goal in the match against Columbus, the Russian extended his goal streak to eight games and repeated the record for his duration among other Russian hockey players. Earlier in the same season, an eight-game goalscoring streak was achieved by Alexander Mogilny (1992/93 season) and Pavel Bure (1993/94 season).

In the last game of “Tampa” in the current regular league championship with the “Islanders”, Kucherov can extend the scoring streak to nine games.
