Evgeny Kuznetsov News
Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov has been assigned to the AHL after he cleared waivers on Sunday. Washington announced that the team is waiving Kuznetsov on Saturday after he was cleared to resume practicing by administrators for the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. Kuznetsov, a two-time All-Star and the Capitals' leading scorer on their triumphant 2018 Stanley Cup run, entered the program on Feb. 6. Washington decided to cut ties with Kuznetsov after he contributed only 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 43 games this season. The Russian centerman, who has registered 171 goals and 568 points in 723 career regular-season appearances in the AHL, has one more season to on an eight-year, $62,400,000 contract.
Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov did not partake in Monday's practice due to what the team is calling personal reasons. "We'll have an update later but out today for personal reasons," Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery said. It's been a down season for the veteran pivot as Kuznetsov has recorded just six goals and 17 points across 43 games while posting a minus-11 rating in that time. His 18:47 of average ice time per game is actually an increase from last season and is the third-highest mark of his 11-year NHL career. The Caps have largely struggled as a team as they are tied for sixth place in the Metropolitan Division with a 22-18-7 record while their -31 goal differential is the third-worst figure in the Eastern Conference.
Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov (illness) will rejoin the action on Saturday against Nashville. He returns from a one-game absence, having been unavailable for Thursday's contest against Philadelphia due to an illness. Kuznetsov has struggled for form this season and was even a healthy scratch recently. He's sitting on only 11 points (five goals, six assists) through 22 outings. The Russian centerman has averaged fewer points only during his rookie campaign in 2014-15.
Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov is expected to re-enter the lineup on Thursday against Dallas. Following a string of lackluster performances, he was scratched for Monday's meeting with Arizona. The Russian centerman has contributed only four goals and five assists in 19 appearances this season, and he's currently averaging 0.47 points per game, which is the second-lowest mark of his career. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery will likely want to see a big reaction from Kuznetsov on Thursday. He's projected to skate with Hendrix Lapierre and Matthew Phillips on the third line.
