BOSTON — Dazzling skating and highlight-reel passing have become the norm for Evgeny Kuznetsov in his sophomore NHL season. His teammates have nicknamed Harry Potter, owing to his wizardry with his stick. The magic continued Tuesday night in Boston.
He assisted on Washington’s first goal and scored the second as the Capitals snapped their first losing skid of the season with a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.
The dream season for the Capitals has dovetailed with the blossoming of Kuznetsov. Washington improved to 29-7-3, holding firm as the Eastern Conference’s top team.
