History
RussianProspects.com contributes to this profile.
2007-08: This was Tikhonov’s coming out party, as he established himself on Severstal’s roster and while his 7 goals may not seem as significant, the club struggled to put the puck in the net all season and he was one of the top contributors in the offensive end. But what really made him stand out was Tikhonov’s performance for Russia’s U20 squad, where he finally came into his own and surprised many at the World Championships, where he was one of Russia’s leaders along with Nikita Filatov, recording 5 goals and 7 points in 8 contests. This is what really put him on the NHL radar.
Talent Analysis
An aggressive scoring winger who is capable of playing physical hockey and skate in traffic. Sees the ice well and has matured his vision over the past two seasons in the Super League and with U20 Team Russia. While a scorer, he can also set up his linemates and his passing is above average. An above average puck handler. Average in the defensive zone. Slightly above average skating with average acceleration, though has improved in this area in the past year.
