Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov believes moving to a new team will help the Washington Capitals move forward Evgeny Kuznetsov to restart.
Previously, Kuznetsov was not included in the team for the NHL regular season match against the Arizona Coyotes (0:6).
— Kuznetsov’s unsuccessful play? It happens. Somewhere, a man sits down. Many people have seasons like this. We have to restart. Maybe change teams. Lots of options. Some people like our players, some people don’t. So we’ll see. Zhenya is healthy, normal, a great player. Top of the line ! So let’s see what happens next. So far, it’s not working for him.
The game is not going well under the leadership of the second coach? Looking at the team, Washington is playing well, going higher than last season. But they expect more than one person. Especially from Kuznetsov – everyone knows how he can play, at what level he can be. This means that the coach is not satisfied with something,” Kozhevnikov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
This season, Kuznetsov scored 11 (5+6) points in 22 matches with a utility indicator of “-4”.
Kuznetsov has been playing for the Capitals since 2014.
