The Caps defeated the New York Rangers 6-5 on Sunday afternoon thanks to a game-winning overtime goal from Evgeny Kuznetsov.
It may have even been Alex Ovechkin. Both practically put the puck in at the same time but the Caps gave credit to Kuznetsov.
Kuznetsov’s goal ended a six-game goalless drought. He’s had a roller coaster like of a season following a career playoff year that led the Caps to the Stanley Cup.
If Alex Ovechkin didn’t win the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoffs MVP, the title would’ve very likely went to Kuznetsov.
