Kaprizov missed the end of the regular season due to injury, but returned for the Stanley Cup.
“I’m staying calm now. Of course I’m very motivated and hungry, my fire is burning.
I haven’t played in a month. It was the first time this happened to me. When I was playing in the KHL, I don’t remember missing four or five weeks. Usually I missed one or two matches and that was it.
Zadorov explained why he agreed to a high-profile interview
In the playoffs, hockey is always different, not the same as in the regular season. We have to play more tactically, faster and stronger. I tried to be better, not to make the mistakes I made in the last playoffs,” Kaprizov is quoted in the Star Tribune.
