"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Washington Capitals have re-signed forward&amp;nbsp;Evgeny&amp;nbsp;Kuznetsov&amp;nbsp;to a two-year, $6 million contract, the team announced Monday.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kuznetsov was a restricted free agent and the Capitals had extended a $945,000 qualifying offer before the sides agreed to the two-year deal.&amp;nbsp;The Capitals were discussing a two- or three-year contract, Kuznetsov's&amp;nbsp;agent told&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Washington Post&lt;/em&gt;.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kuznetsov, 23, had 37 points in 80 games during his first full NHL season this year. He added five goals and two assists during Washington's 14 playoff games.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kuznetsov enjoyed an increased role in the postseason, centering the team's top line with Alex Ovechkin and Joel Ward. Ward has since signed with the San Jose Sharks.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Twenty-three restricted free agents file for salary arbitration&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Dan Gartland&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
