Evgeny Kuznetsov's turned the corner with his season - and is quickly gaining speed.
The previously snakebitten Washington Capitals center scored a goal and added a helper in Monday's 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens, giving him two goals and eight points for his last four games.
Seven of his points were at even strength, but perhaps the more telling sign that the top-10 point producer from last season is reverting back to superstar status is the undeniable quality of his goal on Carey Price and the Canadiens.
For a refresher:
Kuznetsov managed just three goals and 16 assists in 35 games before the calendar flipped to 2017. He's still on pace for about half the goals, and 20 fewer points, from last season, but odds are he'll have a strong finish for the Capitals, who are surging the same.
