“Washington” beat “Los Angeles”, review of the match, Kuznetsov roughly pushed Lemieux into the side and avoided removal, video
The Russian striker stuck the Canadian into the side, hitting him in the back with a club. What’s wrong with Kuznetsov?
Eugene again took it dirty, but this time the judges were silent. A few seconds later, “Washington” scored the winning goal.
Evgeny Kuznetsov returned to Washington after serving one match suspension. Recall that when meeting with Vancouver, the Russian center forward slightly flew off the coils and backhanded with a stick in the face of the killer whale defender Kayla Burroughs.
Then he hit the club in the teeth, and finished off the recumbent. The wild act of the Russian forward in the NHL
Luckily for Kuznetsov, the NHL only assessed his performance in one game with a ban and a fine, but Evgeny doesn’t seem to draw any conclusions. In the future game with Los Angeles, the forward again lost an unnecessarily rude act, sending Canadian Kings forward Brendan Lemieux straight to the board.
The classic push with the club “in the number” at an extreme distance from the boards – sometimes such things lead to serious injuries. Even the home stands of the Capitals gasped in this episode, but the referees apparently missed the moment, and Lemieux quickly got to his feet, without giving the referee a reason to doubt.
It is noteworthy that immediately after Kuznetsov’s “power reception”, “Washington” launched an assist attack, and a few seconds later Markus Johansson scored the winning puck of the ice hosts.

Kuznetsov was lucky in the moment, but one cannot expect that this episode in the league will still be considered after the fact. Of course, I don’t want Evgeny to grab a new disqualification, but he clearly needs to reconsider his behavior on the ice in this case.
As for hockey, Kuznetsov returned to Ovechkin’s line for the game with the Kings, but the Russian extravaganza did not work out. Ovi left the ice without scoring points, while Kuznetsov earned an assistant when he helped Karlsson score.

In the same episode of the program, Dmitry Orlov was noted, who eventually ended the match with noticeable points behind the performance. However, even without the participation of Russian leaders, Washington achieved a strong-willed victory. The Caps, who reproduced after two periods 0: 2, the lost comeback, really took the lead, and from there, although the Kings came to recoup, they still put the squeeze on the Kings in that moment that came out of Kuznetsov’s rudeness.
