"Not only did Chychrun skate nearly 30 minutes in the game with John Carlson injured, but he was productive in those minutes, too. He scored twice, including the game-winning goal, and tallied three points - his 11th career game with three points or more. Chychrun's first goal was ridiculous and reminiscent of an Alex Ovechkin highlight-reel goal early in his career. Chychrun passed the puck to himself off the wall while doing a spin-o-rama, skating around Predators forward Tyson Jost like he was a cone."
"The tally was Chychrun's 20th goal of the season, giving him back-to-back 20-goal campaigns for the first time in his career. He is the second defenseman in franchise history to hit 20 in two consecutive seasons, joining Larry Murphy, who did so in 1985-86 and 1986-87. "Yeah, I don't know," Chychrun said when asked by Monumental Sports Network's Al Koken what the milestone meant to him. "I try to do whatever I can out there for the boys. It's a heck of a group we have. We just can't wait to make a push here and fight to get into the playoffs.""
Jakob Chychrun logged nearly 30 minutes with John Carlson injured and delivered a two-goal, three-point night including the game-winning goal. He executed a self-pass off the wall with a spin-o-rama, skated around Tyson Jost, and ripped a 47-foot snap shot past Justus Annunen to make it 3-0. He later scored on a third-period power play with an 88 MPH wrister to push the lead to 4-2. The goal marked his 20th of the season and his first back-to-back 20-goal campaigns, making him the second defenseman in franchise history to accomplish the feat.
