Important to note, too, that this doesn't sound like a "mental health" reset, as it has been reported as a healthy scratch. Interestingly, the Captials did not use this as a load management reasoning for scratching Kuznetsov, like you commonly see in the NBA.
Kuznetsov is off to a slow start this year, with just 9 points in 19 games so far on the season. We will see if the night off can help him reset.
