Kuznetsov soars as Capitals seize 2-1 series lead

Evgeny Kuznetsov delivered a goal and an assist as the Washington Capitals won their first Stanley Cup final home game in franchise history with a 3-1 victory over the expansion Vegas Golden Knights.

Russian forward Kuznetsov drove down the right wing and fired a snap shot just inside the far post for his 12th goal of the playoffs as the Capitals took a two games to one lead in the best-of-seven NHL championship series.

There was some doubt whether Kuznetsov, who is the leading points scorer in the postseason, would be able to play Saturday night after being injured in the opening period of Wednesday’s game two.

But he put on an impressive performance in what could be a turning point for the Capitals in these playoffs. That’s because they finally looked confident and comfortable at home as they came into game three with a disappointing 4-5 record on home ice.

Wins have been so hard to come by for the Capitals in their own building that Kuznetsov said after game two that he “feels bad for the fans” and “dreams” of playing on the road.

Not anymore, as Alex Ovechkin, with his 14th goal, and Devante Smith-Pelly also scored for the Capitals who were swept in four straight games by the Detroit Red Wings in their only other finals appearance in 1998.

Tomas Nosek scored the lone goal for the Golden Knights, who are enjoying a storybook inaugural season in the NHL.

But after a scoreless first period, Vegas appeared to run out of gas in the second and now are in the position of having to win on the road on Monday in order to prevent the Capitals from taking a stranglehold 3-1 series lead.

History appears to be on Washington’s side. When the championship series has been tied 1-1, the winner of game three has won the Stanley Cup 78 percent of the time.
