The Minnesota Wild winger entered Friday’s game against the Seattle Kraken three points shy of hitting that 100-point milestone, and after the team went 2-0 against the visitors, it appears they collectively decided to flick the switch and started pouring on the goals.
Kaprizov earned the primary assist on the Wild’s first scored by Joel Eriksson Ek, then he potted a goal himself via a deflection off of a Kevin Fiala shot, and then finally and cleanly assisted on Ryan Hartman’s goal that gave the team a multi-goal lead in the second period.
