Tuesday Trivia is a weekly feature of the Daily Chomp. Answer this week's question, then check back next week for a new question and prize.
After over a decade of hockey in the Soviet League, Igor Larionov took his game to North America and added nearly 1,000 NHL games to his career. He spent 97 of those games with the San Jose Sharks and although not nearly his longest tenure with a single NHL club, Larionov's time in San Jose made an immediate impact on the franchise. The man known as "The Professor" assisted in the team's 59 point turnaround in his first season, leading the Sharks to their first-ever playoff berth. Larionov was also part of another franchise first when the Russian native became the first former Sharks player to be inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
TRIVIA: How many regular season points did Larionov have in his first year with the Sharks?
