Evgeny Kuznetsov Sees New Head Coach As "Perfect Match"
1 year agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov is in good spirits ahead of the new campaign and believes things will work out very well under new head coach Spencer Carbery. "The way he sees hockey, it's perfect match for me and a perfect match for guys inside the team," Kuznetsov said of Carbery. "I'm looking for that, for sure: that coach that's gonna ask to create more, to ask to score some goals, to ask to hold on to that puck, to ask to skate with that puck." Kuznetsov had a tough time in D.C. last season and reportedly asked for a trade. However, he now appears very excited for a fresh start. "I want the people to be happy with the way I play, the way I can play," Kuznetsov added. "I know I'm one of those pieces that has to be on point every night." The Russian centerman was close to being a point-per-game player only two seasons ago and should be capable of reaching the same level again in a comfortable playing environment.
