NEW YORK/TORONTO (Feb. 5, 2024) – The National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players’ Association announced today that forward Evgeny Kuznetsov of the Washington Capitals will be unavailable to his Club for an indefinite period while he receives care from the Player Assistance Program of the NHLPA and NHL.

Under the terms of the joint program, he will return to the Club when cleared for on-ice competition by the program administrators.

He probably should have been seeking this help 6-7 years ago, but better late than never. Wishing him well.

Just looked at some of the players on the Caps' roster, and Mantha has six more goals (15) than Ovechkin (9) in the same number of games. Biazrro World kind of stuff right there.
