May 31 (UPI) -- The NHL cleared an apologetic Evgeny Kuznetsov after a video surfaced of the Washington Capitals center sitting next to a table with two lines of white powder.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement Friday that the league considers the matter closed after a thorough review. The video, which first appeared on social media Monday, showed Kuznetov talking on a cell phone in a room as he sat next to a table with the lines and a dollar bill.
