Andrei Kuzmenko - Page 9 - NHL News & Rumors

Unavailable Saturday Kuzmenko won't play Saturday against Edmonton because of an illness, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Generates assist Thursday Kuzmenko posted an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Impact Kuzmenko set up an Oliver Kylington tally in the first period. The positives faded later, as Kuzmenko had some shifts skipped and finished with 10:25 of ice time in the contest. The 28-year-old has seen mid-game demotions in each of the last two contests. He has four points over eight outings with the Flames, but the volatility in his ice time is a throwback to his time with the Canucks earlier in the season. Kuzmenko has 25 points, 76 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 51 appearances in a disappointing second NHL campaign.

Tallies in loss Kuzmenko scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Kuzmenko's first home game as a Flame was a dud, but he was at least able to pot a goal in garbage time. He's scored three times over five contests since he was traded from the Canucks, adding seven shots on net. The 28-year-old winger is at 11 goals, 24 points, 70 shots and a minus-2 rating through 48 outings this season.

Two games, two goals for new team Kuzmenko scored a goal Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Devils.

Impact Two games, two goals. The good is good, but the lows are low. Kuzmenko scored a great goal, but also coughed up the puck at the point on an early, third-period power play, and the Devils scored on the ensuing shorthanded breakaway. Gulp. Thankfully, that kind of gaffe doesn't hurt his fantasy value much, but it might affect his ice time at some point.

Pots goal in Calgary debut Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact The 28-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period by snapping a wicked wrister past Jeremy Swayman from the slot. It was an impressive Flames debut for Kuzmenko, who was a key part of the return the team got from the Canucks for Elias Lindholm, and he should get a long look on a scoring line and on the top power-play unit after scoring 39 goals and 74 points as a rookie in 2022-23.

Impact Kuzmenko is the NHL-ready highlight of this trade. After struggling to 21 points over 43 contests this season and clashing styles with head coach Rick Tocchet, Kuzmenko gets a chance to prove himself with a new team. There's upside -- he had 39 goals and 74 points in his first NHL campaign last year -- but the 27-year-old is likely best used in a role with minimal defensive responsibility. Kuzmenko should benefit from a steady spot in the Flames' lineup and could see power-play time.

Picks up two assists Monday Kuzmenko registered two assists in a 2-0 win over Chicago on Monday.

Impact Kuzmenko snapped his 10-game scoring drought. Although he recorded 39 goals and 74 points in 81 contests last season, it's been a rough campaign for Kuzmenko, who entered Monday's action averaging a modest 14:29 of ice time and even occasionally serving as a healthy scratch. His offensive production against Chicago might be a confidence booster, but fantasy managers should keep expectations in check given how 2023-24 has gone for the 27-year-old. Kuzmenko has eight goals and 21 points across 41 outings this year.

Responds well to scratch Kuzmenko scored two goals, including one on the power play in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Impact Kuzmenko was a healthy scratch for the last two games as his playing style continues to clash with head coach Rick Tocchet's vision for the team. The 27-year-old Kuzmenko has still performed relatively well despite his reduced role, accumulating eight goals, 11 helpers, 44 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. He's unlikely to play much of a physical style, but Kuzmenko can score and set up linemates well as long as he can stick in a top-six role.

Opens scoring early Kuzmenko scored a goal in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Panthers.

Impact Kuzmenko tallied on his lone shot of the game at 4:03 of the first period. The 27-year-old winger saw 15:11 of ice time in the win, his second time exceeding 15 minutes since his pair of healthy scratched Nov. 24 and 25. He's at six goals, 17 points, 41 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 27 outings overall. While he's still a fixture on the power play, his bottom-six role at even strength is likely to lead to continued inconsistency on offense.

Nets power-play marker Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Impact Kuzmenko tied the game at 1-1 with his first-period tally. The 27-year-old was more involved in this contest, which saw him snap a four-game point drought. He's been toiling on the fourth line in recent contests after a handful of healthy scratches failed to get him in line with head coach Rick Tocchet's expectations. Kuzmenko has five tallies, 16 points, 40 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 26 appearances, but he won't have a lot of fantasy value until he gets back into the top six on a full-time basis.

Deposits only goal in loss Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kuzmenko has had an eventful week or so -- he was scratched twice and endured a four-game point drought before his goal Thursday. The 27-year-old winger ended the contest with 17:27 of ice time, his highest mark of November, and goal has to help in regards to getting out of head coach Rick Tocchet's doghouse. Kuzmenko is up to four tallies, 15 points, 32 shots on net and a plus-3 rating through 21 contests. Given his scoring capabilities, fantasy managers would be shrewd to check to see if an impatient rival cut ties with the winger during his recent stint in the press box.
