Swiss Roman Josey, 32, scored the most points in Nashville Predators history.
He was congratulated by former record holder David Legwand.
– It’s a great performance, says the 42-year-old, among other things.
The Nashville Predators picked up an important victory over their division rival, the Chicago Blackhawks, by a score of 4-2 on the road.
They did so after defender Romain Josey first touched David Legwand’s scoring record by making it 3-2 himself early in the third period. Then the Swiss took over the record when he made the goal 4-2.
– It’s a great honor. “I’m so grateful to my teammates who have spent so much time here, the staff, everyone,” said Josey, who now has 567 points in Nashville, according to nhl.com.
Legwand congratulated Josie
Coach John Heinz praised Jose.
Nashville has a lot of good and successful players. This speaks volumes, not only of his talent, but also of what he means to the organization. Hines says he’s a talented, driven and committed man.
There was also a short tribute from former record holder David Legwand via the Nashville Predators Twitter account.
Congratulations, Joss. It’s an amazing achievement and it was an honor to play with you, he says.
Roman Josey is the second defenseman to lead the all-time scoring in an active NHL organization. The other is Ray Bourque of the Boston Bruins.
