russian striker “Minnesota” Kirill Kaprizov refused entry to the United States, and he returned to Russia, according to The Score, citing The Athletic.
The hockey player tried to enter the United States from Dubai, but was refused. Later, he tried to cross the ocean through the Caribbean islands, but he was also not allowed, after which he returned to Russia.
Many European players in the 2021/22 season played without a work visa due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Earlier, SHOT Telegram reported that Kaprizov may be linked to former police officer Farit Samigullin, who was arrested in April for illegally helping buy military tickets. Conflicting information is received regarding the striker’s whereabouts: it was reported that he had returned to the United States, but Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin said the player was still in Russia.
Kaprizov has been playing for Minnesota since the 2020/21 season. Last season, the 25-year-old Russian played in 87 regular season and NHL playoff games, scored 116 points (54 goals and 62 assists).
