What It Means:

After slowing a bit in December (seven points in 14 games), Kuznetsov is back on track in January (five points in five games). He is on pace to record 77 points if he keeps it up down the stretch.

Kuznetsov now has 15 goals and 41 points through 43 games this season, a sensational start for the 23-year-old sophomore. We project him to maintain this pace over the remainder of the season as we forecast him to score 11 more goals with 24 more assists the rest of the way. Both his Corsi For Percentage (50.4) and his Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength (-0.4) are career-best clips.
