Goaltender for an NHL clubMinnesota Wild » Marc-Andre Fleury teammate compared Kirill Kaprizova with a three-time Stanley Cup winner as part of “Pittsburgh Penguins » Sidney Crosby .
Kaprizov scored a hat-trick on Sunday in the regular season game with the Columbus Blue Jackets (3:2 OT). The Russian was recognized as the NHL’s first Game Day Star.
“Look at her build: big legs, big ass. He has a short body, he is fast, goes to the corners of the field, enters martial arts and strikes. Kirill trains in defense, gets back in the zone and helps the defenders. Everything looks like Sid (Sidney Crosby). Obviously he has the same good throw, – Fleury is quoted by The Athletic.
Kaprizov scored 71 points (37 goals + 34 assists) in 60 games this season.
