Washington Capital's forward Evgeny Kuznetsov blatantly hit Vancouver Canucks' defenseman Kyle Burroughs with a high stick during their matchup Monday night.

Kuznetsov received a 2-minute minor for high-sticking. It is highly probable that he will be hearing from the Department of Player Safety soon enough.

Kuznetsov has been in trouble with the league for high sticking previously on May 8, 2022 when he received a $5,000 fine for high-sticking Noel Acciari.
