Kuznetsov becomes 5th player to hit 30 playoff points in over 20 years

Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov joined an elite group thanks to his second four-point effort of the playoffs Monday night.

The 26-year-old's third of four assists in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final gave him 30 points this postseason, making him just the fifth player to hit that mark in the last 21 years.

Kuznetsov now has a five-point cushion over teammate Alex Ovechkin for the top spot in the playoff scoring race. He also jumped into 10th place on the Capitals' career playoff scoring list.
