In September 2014 he joined the Washington Capitals , who used him exclusively in the AHL at the Hershey Bears , where he was the team's top scorer with 59 and took part in the AHL All-Star Classic for the second time since 2013 . After the 2014/15 season, Kennedy moved to Europe for the first time and signed a contract with Neftechimik Nizhnekamsk from the Continental Hockey League in June 2015 . However, he was unable to assert himself there, did not feel comfortable in Russia and only had five scorer points by December 2015, so that he was released from your contract.
