Nets OT winner Kuznetsov tallied two points, including the winning goal, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the Blue Jackets.

Picks up assist Monday Kuznetsov logged an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.
Impact Kuznetsov helped out on T.J. Oshie's equalizer in the third period. The assist snapped Kuznetsov's four-game point drought, but he's gone eight contests without a goal, picking up seven helpers in that span. The center is up to 37 points, 107 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 45 outings. He's shooting a paltry 5.6 percent, so there's reason to be hopeful he'll turn it around in the second half of the campaign.

The two-assist game extended Kuznetsov's point streak to seven games, with two goals and nine assists in that span. The 30-year-old center has excelled as a playmaker on Washington's top unit, tallying six goals and 30 assists through 40 games this season.

Five-game, eight-point streak Kuznetsov picked three apples in a 9-2 rout of Montreal on Saturday.
Impact It was great pass after great pass for the elite playmaker who is on a five-game, eight-point streak that includes six assists. Kuznetsov has 17 points, including 14 helpers, in 15 games in December. He's been held off the score sheet just three times this month.

Extends point streak Kuznetsov tallied a goal, two shots and a minus-2 rating during Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Senators.
Impact Kuznetsov is on a four-game point streak (two goals, three assists) and has managed a point-per-game across 14 contests in the month of December. The Capitals could be in line to shuffle their lineups once Nicklas Backstrom (hip), Tom Wilson (knee), and T.J. Oshie (upper body) return, but those reinforcements should only help the 30-year-old playmaker pay further dividends for fantasy managers.

Two-point night in OT win Kuznetsov had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.
Impact The goal wasn't pretty, but they all count. Kuznetsov's centering pass deflected in off Ottawa defender Jake Sanderson's stick on the power play in the first period. It was just his fifth of the season. His shooting percentage is just 4.7 percent this season, well below his career mark of 11.3, so we expect Kuznetsov to start putting more pucks in the net soon. He has 27 points (five goals, 22 assists) in 34 games.
