Tampa’s Russian forward Kucherov scored the first goal of the new NHL season
The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Nashville Predators in the first game of the new National Hockey League (NHL) season. This was reported by a Lenta.ru correspondent.
The meeting ended in victory for the home team with a score of 5:3. The first goal of the season was scored by Tampa’s Russian forward Nikita Kucherov, who later scored a double. Tampa defender Mikhail Sergachev scored an assist.
Previously, Kucherov was included in the top 10 best active NHL players according to the NHL Network. “He scored 100 points in a season for the third time in his career. This is the only Tampa player who has more than one such season,” noted the compilers of the rating and put the Russian in eighth place.
The current Stanley Cup champion is the Vegas Golden Knights. In the final series, the team turned out to be stronger than the Florida Panthers.
