Evgeny Kuznetsov did not have a great start to his 2021 season. First of all, he was forced to miss eight games early in the season thanks to Covid protocol. That adding to an already strange and hard season for these players. After returning from his eight game absence he didn’t have a ton of success.
Here at Stars and Sticks, we talked about how Kuznetsov was on pace to have one of his worst seasons as an NHL player. To be more specific he was on pace to have just 49 points in a full 82 game season.
