The NHL is always watching.
Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov was fined $2,000 by the NHL for diving/embellishment, the league announced Thursday.
Kuznetsov was issued a warning after being flagged on Oct. 29. His second infraction occurred on Dec. 29, and now he's forced to cut a cheque.
The hit to his wallet is another negative in what's been a down season for the 24-year-old. After leading the Capitals in scoring last season, setting career highs across the board, Kuznetsov has four goals and 19 assists in 37 games.
