Recap: Kaprizov’s special night ruined by 5-2 loss to Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes spoiled our party. We were supposed to be overjoyed when Kirill Kaprizov scored his 100th career goal in historic fashion, but now we’re just left with a Minnesota Wild loss.

Thanks to Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, the game was not a total failure, but when you let one of the NHL’s best (if not the best) team get some offensive juices flowing on the power play and have that translate to even-strength action, then you’re already playing from behind even if the game is scoreless.

Here’s how it happened, joy and all.
