Evgeny Kuznetsov Евгений Кузнецов #92 highlight video

Highlight video on one of hockey's top prospects - Evgeny (Yevgeni) Kuznetsov. The Washington Capitals have themselves perhaps the most talented player outside the NHL. He starred at this year's World Juniors in Calgary, AB and is giving goalies nightmares in the KHL this season.

I anointed him the "Hockey Surgeon" when highlighting him in a profile during the World Juniors, base on his uncanny ability to dissect opposing defenders.

He exhibits tremendous puck poise, dangling always with a purpose - the usual end result with the puck in the back of the net. He looked great on a line with Nikita Gusev - the Hockey Artist - Russia's Picasso on Ice.
