In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about Center Evgeny Kuznetsov suspension for one game for high-sticking Canucks defenseman Kyle Burroughs.
Kuznetsov’s suspension is the first of his 10-year NHL career for an on-ice transgression. In 2019, he was suspended three games for conduct detrimental to the league.
What are the implications of this on the Caps?

Later Dan talks about the lower body injury to Connor Brown who was absent from practice after suffering an apparent right leg injury in the third period.
Brown tangled with Canucks defenseman Noah Juulsen when he went down and collided with the boards in front of the visitors’ bench. He grabbed his right knee briefly, then limped straight down the tunnel to the room.
Will this present an opportunity for Joe Snively or Connor McMichael to impress?

In the final segment we talk about Alex Ovechkin's four point night
Ovechkin had a flurry of offense scoring four points while Conor Sheary, Dylan Strome and more also helped Washington to a 6-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.

“I think we were kind of pissed with what happened in the second, and it was a great response by everybody,” Ovechkin said. “You can see when we play the right way, it doesn’t matter what kind of score. We can always bounce back and win the game.”
