Evgeny Kuznetsov Scores Twice In Friday's Win
1 year agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov produced two goals in Friday's 4-2 triumph over the Devils. His first marker gave Washington a 3-0 lead, and Kuznetsov wrapped up the win with an empty-netter after New Jersey had made things interesting with a couple of third-period strikes. Life hasn't been fun for the 31-year-old early in 2023-24, as Kuznetsov had lit the lamp just once through his first 11 outings. His work in the assists department has also been lacking, with the two-time All-Star posting four assists. Kuznetsov had a down year last season with 55 points, and early signs suggest that he could do even worse in 2023-24. However, we're still at the start of the campaign, and there's time for him to turn things around.
