Hurricanes get a quick boost from Evgeny Kuznetsov addition to start NHL playoffs

Associated Press  

RALEIGH, N.C. — Evgeny Kuznetsov wasted no time making a postseason impact for the Carolina Hurricanes. In this type of environment, that’s, I think, what makes him special.” Game 2 of that series comes Monday night, part of a schedule that includes the start of two Western Conference playoff series. “For me it was a great opportunity to start fresh in the playoffs, first game.” Kuznetsov centered the fourth line in Saturday’s 3-1 win against the Islanders, but came up big early by squeezing the puck into the top left corner above Semyon Varlamov’s right shoulder on the power play. “He’s obviously a great player and a big part of our team,” Toronto center Auston Matthews said. ET Reigning Cup champion Vegas claimed the Western Conference’s second wild-card spot to earn a familiar opponent in Dallas, which was second in the league behind the New York Rangers with 113 points.
