The Vitali Abramov hype train is once again full steam ahead.
Abramov broke a record when his Victoriaville Tigers took on the Halifax Mooseheads winning by a score of 8-2. Abramov had three assists on the evening and with those points, broke the record for most points scored by a European player in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL).
The previous record holder was Stanislav Lascek, who put up 282 points. As it stands today, Abramov has 284 points and will continue to make the record all the more unbreakable with a couple more weeks of games remaining.
Congrats to #CBJ prospect Vitaly Abramov. With three assists already tonight for @TigresVicto vs. Halifax, the winger has 284 career points, the most by a European player in @QMJHL history, surpassing Stanislav Lascek (282 points).

After the 2016-17 season, Abramov was awarded the Jean Beliveau Trophy for the most points scored. After that same season, he was also awarded the Michael Briere Trophy given to the QMJHL's most valuable player.
