The Russian attackerMinnesota Wild » Marat Khusnutdinov talked about helping a teammate Kirill Kaprizov and declared himself pleasantly surprised by the welcome given to the team’s foreign players.
In late February, Wild agreed to a two-year deal with 21-year-old Khusnutdinov.
— Kaprizov is a good guy and a good driver. Free taxi. He helps me every day. Explains how to do what, the nuances, pre-match moments, what to eat, at what time. All these little tips that could take a whole season to learn.
I was very surprised how friendly and helpful the guys were, even despite the language barrier. Of course, it’s easier to talk about many things with Kirill, just because we speak the same language, but it was amazing for me to see how all the guys ask me, help me, offer me m take me, introduce myself to people. . So it was super amazing. The reception was incredible,” Khusnutdinov was quoted as saying by the Minnesota Press Service.
Khusnutdinov played 55 games for Sochi and SKA Saint Petersburg in the last KHL regular season and scored 20 (6+14) points.
Minnesota selected the player in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft, 37th overall. The forward terminated his contract with Sochi after the end of the KHL regular season, and then it became known that he had signed a deal with Minnesota.
