Wilderness Walk: Kirill Kaprizov’s big butt

Kirill Kaprizov ran the entire world for 60 minutes on Sunday afternoon. A natural hat trick and essentially doing everything he can so that the Minnesota Wild beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 in overtime, earned him some praise from his peers after the game.

For Marc-Andre Fleury, Kaprizov’s game reminded him of another elite talent he played with and some of his body parts.

Fleury on Kaprizov: "Reminds of me of Sid a bit. The way he’s built: big legs, big butt. Short, fast, goes to the corner, battles, big hits.
