Fresh of a three-point night against the Florida Panthers, Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov attended the Wizards-Cavaliers game at Capital One Arena. The Cavs beat the Wizards 113-100.
Sitting courtside, Kuznetsov rocked a Bradley Beal jersey while joined at the game by Abe Hamrah of Designo Motoring and Russian national soccer team member, Aleksandr Samedov.

Kuzy and The Big Panda are unlikely friends after first meeting in 2017. “Been to his house a couple of times,” Kuznetsov told Sports Illustrated. “Big fan of hockey.”
Beal’s shown his support by showing up to several Capitals games himself. He even did the bird celly after a Caps win last season.
Beal witnessed Alex Ovechkin score a hat trick and a 7-6 overtime loss to the Sharks.
He’s also worn an Evgeny Kuznetsov jersey to his own Wizards games.
World Series champion Mike Rizzo, the Nationals general manager, also attended last night’s Wizards game.
Mike Rizzo in the house!
