The Washington Capitals will have center Evgeny Kuznetsov back Friday when they host the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena.
Kuznetsov missed the Capitals’ last six games after suffering an upper-body injury Nov. 14 against Winnipeg. General manager Brian MacLellan later said on a podcast that it was a concussion.
Evgeny Kuznetsov returns tonight for #Caps after missing past 6. Keith Kinkaid starts for #NJDevils. Michael McLeod in after being called up. Mirco Mueller in for Egor Yakovlev.

The Capitals have won six straight since losing Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie to head injuries in the same game. Oshie is not yet ready to return.
