Kuznetsov returns, scores goal, adds assist in Caps’ win
WASHINGTON — The Washington Capitals put Evgeny Kuznetsov in the lineup for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday night and he didn’t miss a beat.
The Russian star scored and added an assist in the Capitals’ 3-1 win that put Washington two wins away from the championship.
“You play a little bit better when you’re hurt,” Kuznetsov said
The leading scorer in the playoffs left Wednesday’s Game 2 clutching his left arm after a big hit from Brayden McNabb and did not return.
