Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov has completed his fifth season in the NHL with his team falling to the Vegas Golden Knights in six games in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The 28-year-old winger is now facing the next significant step in his career, with an initial date for taking it set for July 1 as he will become eligible to sign a contract extension.
After returning from injury late in the regular season, Kaprizov delivered his best postseason performance to date, with five goals and nine points in Minnesota’s loss to Vegas.
