Russian attacker “Minnesota” Kirill Kaprizov After the preseason game against Colorado, he assessed his play and readiness for the new NHL season.
On Thursday, the Wild defeated the Avalanche with a score of 4:2, Kaprizov scored a double.
— There were a lot of chances in the first half, I could have scored more. Needs to work on implementation.
The first match after a break is always difficult, the legs quickly become “heavy”. It wasn’t the worst match. How many matches do you need to prepare for the season? Emotionally, I’m ready to start.
How has the power play changed? We’ll see as the season progresses. We are trying to become better.
Ryan Hartman is a great hockey player, he always plays well in front of the goal, tries to open up, he has an excellent shot, in my opinion, better than me and Zuccarello,” Kaprizov is quoted in the Minnesota press service.
Kaprizov scored 75 points (40 goals and 35 assists) in 67 regular season games during the 2022/23 season.
The new NHL season begins on October 11.
