Nikita Kucherov scored twice in the NHL and made history

As part of the next round of the regular season of the National Hockey League, a duel took place in which the Tampa Bay Lightning hosted the Vancouver Canucks on home ice. The main hero of the meeting was the Russian striker of the hosts Nikita Kucherov, who recorded two abandoned pucks on his account.

The confrontation, held at the Benchmark International Arena, ended with a confident success of the Florida club with a score of 4: 2. Another Russian legionnaire among the guests, Ilya Mikheev, left the ice without scored points, and goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevsky remained in reserve and did not take part in this game.

Thanks to this success, Kucherov spent his nineteenth multi-goal match in his professional career, surpassing the achievement of Brayden Point in the corresponding statistics of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Now the domestic sniper takes the third place in the historical ranking of the franchise, second only to Stephen Stamkos, who has 33 similar achievements, and Martin St. Louis with 24 productive evenings.

In the upcoming games of the regular championship, the Florida team will cross clubs with the Vegas Golden Knights, while the team from Canada will hold a duel against the Carolina Hurricanes. Both events are scheduled for October 21.
