Dynamo Forward Maxime Comtois said Russian hockey player Evgeny Kuznetsov helped him join the Carolina Hurricanes.
Kuznetsov and Comtois played together for Carolina in 2024. On Thursday, the Dynamo announced the signing of the Canadiens to a one-year contract; the same day, Kuznetsov terminated his contract with the North Carolina team.
— How do you remember Evgeny Kuznetsov in Carolina? Are you surprised by his decision to terminate his contract and return to the KHL?
— Evgeniy’s impressions are the best. I didn’t know Kuznetsov before he came to Carolina. I knew that he played well for Washington and scored a lot of points. As a person, Zhenya is very cool, he treated me well. In the playoffs, I was put in the lineup instead of him for one game, before training he explained to me how to play in the first three, explained the system and invited me to dinner. Kuznetsov helped me join the team. Maybe Zhenya didn’t get enough playing time in Carolina. He’s a great player. But this happens in a career, “the correspondent reports, based on Comtois’ words.
