Evgeny Kuznetsov, who returned to the ice Wednesday night for the first time since May 1, confirmed Thursday that he tested positive for the coronavirus a second time.
Kuznetsov was placed on the coronavirus protocol list on May 4, after already spending time on the list early in the season. He had been activated off the coronavirus list Sunday after missing the previous two weeks.
The Washington Capitals center played over 26 minutes in Game 3 — his first action since May 1. Boston won 3-2 in double overtime, taking a 2-1 series advantage.
