9 – Number of primary assists at five-on-five for Evgeny Kuznetsov, good for second in the League behind Patrick Kane. The next-highest total by a Capital? Four, with both John Carlson and Marcus Johansson chipping in with that amount.
Eleven of Kuznetsov’s 18 assists (both primary and secondary) have been picked up at five a side, and 14 of his 26 points, which puts him into the League’s top 20 in that department – and trails only Alex Ovechkin (15) for the team lead.
