Stars and Sticks will run a weekly series that selects a Washington Capitals Player of the Week.
As a team, the Washington Capitals had a great week, racking up four wins and scoring at least five goals in two of the games. With that kind of offense, it’s no surprise that several players put up some good numbers. Though there were several candidates, only one can earn the weekly honor of player of the week.
Center Evgeny Kuznetsov, who has been struggling for much of the year, is our pick for the Washington Capitals Player of the Week for games played from January 1 to January 7.
