Evgeny Kuznetsov Absent From Monday's Lineup
6 years agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov (upper body) is not in the lineup on Monday against the Montreal Canadiens. Just like teammate T.J. Oshie, Kuznetsov is expected to be dealing with a concussion. It is an unfortunate break for the slick Russian pivot as Kuznetsov had 21 points through his first 18 games of the season. In his absence, Lars Eller has moved up to the top line with Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson. He has also joined the top power-play unit. Eller is a solid DFS play and worthwhile streamer in season-long formats while Kuznetsov remains out.
