Set to play Saturday Kuznetsov (personal) will make his NHL debut with the Hurricanes in Saturday's game against New Jersey following his trade to Carolina on Friday, per Cory Lavalette of the North St... Impact Kuznetsov, who was on non-roster injured reserve, hasn't played since Jan. 27 because he was in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. He had six goals and 17 points in 43 contests with Washington before the trade. It remains to be seen how the Hurricanes will utilize him, but Kuznetsov will likely serve in a middle-six role.
