Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Hit with embellishment fine

Kuznetsov has been fined $2,000 for diving/embellishment, The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Kuznetsov has now been cited with the diving/embellishment infraction twice this season. He received a verbal warning for the first occurrence Oct. 20 versus the Panthers, but a fine was assessed because he committed the offense a second time, having dived in an unsuccessful attempt to draw a penalty in a Dec. 29 game against the Devils. If the star pivot continues these antics, his fines will increase, but fantasy owners can continue to deploy him normally.
