Preview: Wild take on streaking Robertson and the Stars

Kirill Kaprizov is —in NBA Jam terms— on fire. Our diminutive forward is boomshakalaka-ing all over other teams to the tune of 18 points in the last 11 games.
It’s fun when the Wild are winning, and while they weren't able to pummel a lesser opponent in the Ducks — who somehow have only 15 points on the season, with only one regulation win — this recent stretch of games is the Wild that we hoped we would get coming into the season.
