There was a scare among the Washington Capitals and their fans in the beginning of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals when Evgeny Kuznetsov left the ice after a hit along the boards from Brayden McNabb. Kuznetsov suffered an upper-body injury and didn’t appear in the remainder of that game but still played in the final three games.
Kuznetsov told the media on breakdown da that he injured his shoulder but will not need surgery.
