Hockey agent Alexey Dementyev called the outstanding achievement of Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov, who set a personal record for points scored in the NHL regular season.
On Wednesday, Tampa beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 in an NHL regular season game. Kucherov scored an assist hat-trick and became the first Russian in NHL history to reach 130 points in one regular season.
“It’s an outstanding achievement that our hockey player scored 130 points. There is still a reserve of matches, albeit small, in which Nikita can improve his performance. It’s nice to see what people in North America are saying about Russian players, in this case Kucherov and Alexander Ovechkin, who are conquering new heights and setting new records.
— In your opinion, will Kucherov win the scorers race this season?
— I don’t like to think about such things, but I will be very happy if Kucherov becomes the top scorer. He has a very serious competitor in Nathan MacKinnon,” RB Sport quotes Dementyev.
Colorado captain MacKinnon, who is second in the list of scorers, has 127 points, while Edmonton forward Connor McDavid is third (126).

Schaefer became the youngest defenseman in NHL history to reach 25 points. It took the player 40 matches to achieve this; this was the fourth fastest time among defensemen in history.
The Islanders remain in the top 4 in the East.
Champion Florida ends the year with a loss. The Panthers lost to Montreal 2:3 in overtime, but they were two goals ahead at the time of the game. Montreal is in second place in the rankings and Florida is in 4th place.
