Athletistic / Hockey. San Jose Sharks head coach David Quinn explained his team’s loss in the NHL regular season away game against the Minnesota Wild (3:4). The main hero of the meeting was the striker of the “savages” Kirill Kaprizov, who scored a hat-trick.
“When you don’t have what your opponent has, you try to find a way to compete with them. I think we succeeded today. We tried, we fought. I think the third period was We were our best today. We acted with more team, we attacked more often, we fought, but we just weren’t lucky.
Minnesota has Kaprizov, but we don’t. That was the difference in today’s match. Kirill scores goals that many NHL players simply don’t know how to score,” Quinn is quoted in the NHL press service.
After the match, Kirill Kaprizov was recognized as its first star. This season, the 26-year-old Russian has played 55 matches and scored 66 (29+37) performance points.
