#2 You will see Tom Wilson and Kuzy connect on a goal

Nothing in the All Star Game like seeing two teammates set each other up and that’s exactly what we’re going to see on Saturday afternoon. The two have connected numerous times this season as Kuznetsov has taken over the top line and taken that role by storm this season.

The two seem to be getting along very well. In fact, Kuzy even gave Willy some sound advice as he experiences his first All Star Game. From the video on the previous slide in an interview with Capitals digital host Taryn Bray, the advice Kuzy gave him was this:

"“Don’t drink much. No, that’s how it is, you know, and remember everything and enjoy it. It’s nice to be here.”"

Not drinking too much will be a challenge in a city like Las Vegas but the athletes do have to be sure they’re in enough shape for the second half push.

Kuzy expressed excitement for Wilson going to his first All Star Game since the two kind of entered the league around the same time:

"“Our careers started [at] the same time when was kids and now we’re here so it’s kinda nice to see those eight years how we get here. So [I’m] happy for him and for me too.”"
