Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov will undergo a program to help NHL players. Previously, Colorado player Valery Nichushkin was included in the same program.

The program was created to provide support in overcoming alcohol or drug addiction, as well as solving various psychological problems of hockey players and members of their families. The reason for the Washington forward’s appeal to specialists has not been announced by the league. According to experts, it may be directly related to the not-so-high results this season.
