Per the NHL, Evgeny Kuznetsov has been suspended without pay for the first three games of the season by the League for “inappropriate conduct”, a punishment that the Caps’ center will not appeal.
Kuznetsov issued the following statement:
“I have decided to accept the NHL’s suspension today. I am once again sorry that I have disappointed my family, my teammates, and the Capitals organization and fans. I promise to do everything in my power to win you back with my actions both on and off the ice. I also understand that I am fortunate to have an opportunity to make things right.
