According to The Athletic's Tarik El-Bashir, Kuznetsov did not participate in Sunday's optional skate.

Kuznetsov will not skate this morning and will be a game-time decision vs. VAN, per the #Caps. He did not participate in yesterday’s (very) optional practice, which isn’t odd.

He has zero goals and one assist in three games played so far this season, his 10th with the Caps.
