Evgeny Kuznetsov Returns With A Short-Handed Game-Winner
3 years agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov made a big impact in his comeback game on Wednesday, tallying the game-winning goal in a 5-3 victory over Nashville. He scored in a short-handed situation with just over five minutes left in regulation. The Russian centerman produced four shots in total across 22 minutes of action. Kuznetsov missed three games before the holiday break after he landed on the COVID-19 list. He's been on fire throughout the season, so it's no surprise that the 29-year-old made a prolific return to the lineup. He's collected 31 points in 29 games, registering a nice plus-15 rating.
