Washington Capitals Center Evgeny Kuznetsov has been one of the team’s best players through the first quarter of the 2021-22 season, his presence on the ice noticeable on a nightly basis. The former first-round pick has been one of the team’s best offensive and all-around players this season, and in the Caps’ 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday night, he continued with a three-assist night.
Kuznetsov’s first assist came shorthanded, on a goal by Tom Wilson, that tied the game 1-1.
