The young forward has been struggling this season, with only six goals in 29 games. After his 39-goal performance last year, many fans are disappointed with his current performances.
Kuzmenko was a healthy scratch for the fourth time this season on Tuesday against the Predators, and his agent, Dan Milstein, commented on the situation.
It's important to note that Kuzmenko has been relegated to the fourth line, with his ice time greatly diminished.
In these circumstances, it's harder to get back on track. Just look at Montreal's Josh Anderson. He's been struggling all year, but he kept working hard and consistently provided reasons for his coach to send him onto the ice, even if the point production wasn't satisfying. A few games ago, he finally got out of his slump.
Kuzmenko's slump is certainly a question of confidence. Trying him out with the team's top scorers could be the spark he needs.
Do you think Kuzmenko will get back on track and score 30 goals this season?
