Kuznetsov scored to complement his power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.

Even a casual hockey fan should be aware of Kuznetsov's status as an elite center, but look closer and you'll see that he's been producing at a career-best pace based on seven goals and 17 assists through 20 games. The Capitals have been using Kuznetsov in all different situations, including the penalty kill, where he's registered a goal and an assist shorthanded.
