Kuznetsov’s goal and assist helped Carolina beat the Islanders in NHL playoff opener
“Kuznetsov is an exceptional hockey player. He knows how to play in big games. Kuznetsov proved it in the playoffs in the past. And today he played a huge role. Obviously his first goal was very important.
He is one of the most skilled and talented players I have ever seen or played with. He has become a very important part of our team. We are very happy that he is with us,” Shea said, as quoted by the club’s press service.
