The Capitals' Evgeny Kuznetsov is questionable to return to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals against the Golden Knights after suffering an upper-body injury, the team announced. 

Kuznetsov walked off the ice late in the first period after appearing to hurt his left wrist in a check by Brayden McNabb along the boards. After getting slammed into the boards, Kuznetsov fell to the ice.
