After two February matches in the overseas tournament Canadian Shield against Canada (2:4) and New Zealand (2:1), a significant change occurred in the historical table of top scorers for Ukraine's national team.

By scoring once in each match, versatile player Oleksandr Zinchenko of London's Arsenal has increased his goal tally with the blue-and-yellow to 12. This allowed him to tie with Serhiy Nazarenko, who holds eighth place. However, the former national team player scored his dozen goals over 56 matches, while the current one did so in 73.
