While adversity and a tough schedule may not be exactly an ideal way to close out a wild, COVID-shortened campaign, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Washington are ready — eager, even — for the challenge.
A calm and collected Kuznetsov remained positive when talking about the Caps’ approach to the rest of the regular season, saying the team is aware of and looking forward to the heavy competition.
“I’ll be honest with you... these are the games you’ve been waiting for,” Kuznetsov said. “You want to play those type of opponents, you know? And it’s always nice to play a team that you know don’t give you a lot and you have to generate some offensive plays and it’s always fun to have that type of challenge.
