Evgeny Kuznetsov Expected To Return To Lineup Thursday
1 year agoWashington 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.
