Nicklas Backstrom, Evgeny Kuznetsov Snap Droughts
6 years agoWashington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov netted the game-winning tally in overtime in Sunday's 6-5 game against the New York Rangers. It was Kuznetsov's first goal since his two-goal, four-point outburst against the Los Angeles Kings on Feb. 11. Despite the lack of scoring lately, he remains a must-start fantasy option through thick and thin. Center Nicklas Backstrom registered a pair of goals to snap a 12-game goal-scoring drought dating back to Jan. 23, the game before the All-Star break. It was Backstrom's first hat trick since Nov. 30 against the New Jersey Devils.
