The 32-year-old banked 24 points in 63 regular-season outings between Washington and Carolina in 2023-24, before adding six points in 10 playoff games.

  • Evgeny Kuznetsov: Getting contract terminated

    Kuznetsov was put on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, the Hurricanes announced Wednesday. Kuznetsov had one season remaining on his eight-year, $62.4 million contract. When an NHL agreement is mutually terminated rather than bought out, the remaining cap hit and salary are erased from the books, which will save each of Carolina and Washington $3.9 million for the 2024-25 campaign. Kuznetsov struggled in 2023-24, finishing the regular season with eight goals and 24 points across 63 contests. He's likely to join the KHL's SKA St. Petersburg.

    Kuznetsov scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4. The tally was Kuznetsov's first point in three appearances in the second round.

  • Hurricanes' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Healthy scratch Tuesday

    Although an initial report suggested Kuznetsov was unavailable for Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Rangers because of an undisclosed injury, he is actually a healthy scratch for the contest, per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com Kuznetsov took a bad penalty in Game 1 on Sunday that led to a goal in what was ultimately a 4-3 loss to the Rangers, which is likely why he's out of the lineup Tuesday. The 31-year-old has two goals and four points in six playoff contests this year while averaging a modest 11:37 of ice time. Max Comtois drew into the lineup for Game 2 due to Kuznetsov being scratched.

  • Hurricanes' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Two-point effort Tuesday

    Kuznetsov collected a goal and an assist Tuesday in a 6-3 win over the Islanders in Game 5. The 31-year-old center scored on a penalty shot midway through the first period.

  • Hurricanes' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Pair of points in win

    Kuznetsov netted a power-play goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Islanders in Game 1. Kuznetsov opened the scoring just 1:35 into the first period and added a helper on Stefan Noesen's game-winner in the third. The 31-year-old Kuznetsov ended the regular season with just two assists over his last 13 outings, resulting in him dropping to a bottom-six role to begin the playoffs. He had 24 points across 63 appearances in the regular season, by far his worst full campaign, but he could be a key depth scorer if the Hurricanes go on a deep run.

  • Hurricanes' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Continues to shine with new team

    Kuznetsov snapped a four-game pointless streak with an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings. Considering he was put on waivers by the Capitals prior to being dealt to the Hurricanes at the trade deadline, Kuznetsov has really managed to resurrect his season, and possibly his career, since his arrival in Raleigh. He now has six points (two goals, four assists) in nine games with his new team, and he's provided the Canes with valuable depth scoring while playing on the third line with Martin Necas and Jordan Martinook.

  • Hurricanes' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Pots first goal with new team

    Kuznetsov scored his seventh goal of the season in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers. The long-time Capital picked up his first goal, and first point, as a member of the Hurricanes midway through the second period, getting the puck with tons of open space around him before picking his spot against Sergei Bobrovsky. Kuznetsov has been centering a talented line with Martin Necas and fellow newcomer Jake Guentzel at even strength while skating on Carolina's first power-play unit, so points could begin to come in bunches for the 31-year-old now that he's beginning to get comfortable in his new surroundings.

He had six goals and 17 points in 43 contests with Washington before being traded to Carolina on Friday.

  • Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov: Put on waivers

    Kuznetsov (personal) was put on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Kuznetsov had six goals and 17 points in 43 contests this season before entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program on Feb. 5. He received clearance to resume practicing with the Capitals on Saturday prior to ending up on waivers. Kuznetsov comes with a $7.8 million cap hit through the 2024-25 campaign, so he's unlikely to be claimed. GM Brian MacLellan said the decision to waive Kuznetsov was about providing the the 31-year-old forward with a fresh start, according to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press, so the plan is presumably to send him to AHL Hershey if he clears.
