On the NHL Stanley Cup Finals podcast with Joe Lami:

The Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov is on a day-to-day basis nursing an injury that Caps head coach Barry Trotz wouldn’t say what it was. It was reported that Kuznetsov injured his left arm after being slammed into the boards by the Vegas Golden Knights’ Brayden McNabb.

Kuznetsov was in the Knights zone with the puck when McNabb hit him into the boards and fell and hold his left hand. After the Knights took a 6-4 two-goal win over the Caps in Game 2, the Capitals kicked into high gear in tying the series 1-1, taking the series back to Washington.

For both games, there’s little doubt that Vegas goaltender Marc Andre-Fleury has seen his share of shots and allowing four goals in Game 1 and allowing three goals in Game 2. Caps goaltender Braden Holtby was amazing in Game 2 with stretching the goalie stick to make a save on the Knights’ Alex Tuch’s shot.
