While playing for the Russia men's national ice hockey team at the 2014 IIHF World Championship, Kutuzov scored his first goal for the team in his career during the quarterfinals against France, spurring a wave of jokes among Russian fans and media due to parallels with Field Marshal Kutuzov, commander-in-chief of the Russian Army, that defeated French Grande Armée of Napoleon in the war of 1812.[2]
For winning the 2014 IIHF World Championship, Alexander Kutuzov was awarded the Order of Honour on May 27, 2014.
