Evgeny Kuznetsov Returns From Suspension
2 years agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov has served a one-game suspension and will be back in the lineup Saturday against the Kings. He was forced to sit out Thursday's 5-2 loss against Ottawa after getting suspended for high-sticking Vancouver's Kyle Burroughs at the start of the week. The Russian centerman had an eventful night against the Canucks as he also tallied three assists in a 6-4 win. Prior to the outburst, he had managed just one point in his first three appearances of the season. Kuznetsov will head back on the first line, bumping Lars Eller down to the third. He returns in a juicy matchup, as L.A.'s defense has looked very poor so far, giving up 4.50 goals a night.
