Sherwood leads the NHL with most hits this season

Sherwood broke the record against the New York Rangers on March 22, registering his 384th hit, the most in the league.

The previous record was held by defenseman Jerry Lauzon (383) of the Nashville Predators. The 30-year-old Sherwood (424) leads the NHL with most hits by a player in the league this season.

Interestingly, the second player on the list is New York Rangers winger Will Cuylle, with 278 hits.

Sherwood's record got the attention of Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Pronger, who shared his reaction to Sherwood's numbers:

"What a pick up Kiefer Sherwood has been for the Canucks this year. Best band for the buck! Intended," Pronger tweeted.

Sherwood made his way to the NHL as an undrafted player, signing for the Anaheim Ducks in 2018. Following his stint with the Ducks, he joined the Colorado Avalanche for two seasons before moving with the Nashville Predators for another two.

He joined the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent during the last summer. Sherwood has amassed 35 points through 17 goals and 18 assists in 70 games.
