What It Means:

That brings Kuznetsov up to 62 points in 58 games this season. Only Patrick Kane, Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and Erik Karlsson are beating him in the scoring race. Alex Ovechkin netted his 39th goal of the campaign and added his 16th assist. However, it was Mike Richards who provided the game winner with his first goal and point in 15 games with Washington.

We project Kuznetsov to tally another seven goals and 14 assists in 22 games the rest of the way. In his third season, both his Corsi For Percentage (52.0) and Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength (2.1) are easily career-best marks.
