Just a couple of weeks after being dumped traded to the Carolina Hurricanes, Evgeny Kuznetsov returned to Capital One Arena Friday to face off against his former team.
Needless to say, Kuzy got a standing ovation from the Capitals fans and plenty of stick-taps from his former teammates, especially after the video showed him scoring the series clinching goal in the 2018 playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Here’s the tribute:
Your joy for the game was infectious and your contributions to bringing the first Cup to the District will never be forgotten.
Welcome back, Kuzy!#ALLCAPS pic.twitter.com/IHb9x72wnY
