Top 3 fantasy breakout players on Capitals in 2022

There are several Washington Capitals players who can breakout on your fantasy team this upcoming hockey season. We already looked at a few here.

The players we’ll look at today are complete X factors with the Caps and will be an X factor for you if you draft them. Without further ado, let’s begin.

#3 Evgeny Kuznetsov

We’ve written that Evgeny Kuznetsov is the best player to add to your fantasy team. He’s got the complete package and checks all the boxes. After a nine goal season he bounced back last year with 24 goals and 54 assists for 78 points.

Because of that Evgeny Kuznetsov enters this season with big expectations as the top line center. Especially as the team will be without Nicklas Backstrom for a long time. If he breaks out, which he will, he could easily have a 30 goal season which would be the first of his career.

We know Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin will be on the top line. The question is who will be to the right of Kuznetsov as the team begins the season without Tom Wilson.

Kuznetsov can also help your team’s power play and penalty kill. He can work really well on both top units.
