Athletistic / Football. Carolina Hurricanes forward Brendan Lemieux spoke about his attitude towards Evgeny Kuznetsov. The 31-year-old Russian left the Washington Capitals to join the Hurricanes at the end of the trade market (deadline).

“Kuzya is an incredibly positive guy. Evgeniy is constantly smiling and you can always hear him everywhere (smiles). Kuznetsov just exudes positivity. He always has a lot of energy. I would even say good energy. He’s easy to get along with, he likes to be in company,” Lemieux quotes, according to the Carolina Press Service.

In 13 matches for Carolina, Evgeny Kuznetsov scored 6 points for his performance – he scored two goals and became the author of four assists. Note that shortly before leaving Washington, the Russian participated in the NHL player assistance program.
