Evgeny Kuznetsov leans back casually in his stall, collected but also chuckling, even without conversation as he takes off his shin pads. Jokes easily weave into his words as he sports a semi-permanent smile.
Behind joyous blue eyes, Kuznetsov’s mind is always running – whether he’s on the ice or not.
“You know, I always enjoy the life,” he shrugs with a laugh. “It doesn’t matter how we play last night, it’s about how you going to come next morning.”
The 26-year-old winger is naturally happy and never too focused on individual stats, and it’s always been that way when it comes to hockey.
