The Russian attackerMinnesota » Marat Khusnutdinov shared his emotions during his NHL debut, recounting the advice his teammate Kirill Kaprizov gave him.
Minnesota defeated Anaheim in the NHL regular season match with a score of 2: 0. Khusnutdinov made his debut for the Wild and spent 11 minutes 54 seconds on the ice.
– This cannot be expressed in words. Probably every hockey player’s dream is to make it through the rookie round and play in the NHL. Wonderful feeling. Today I was excited. When I got on the ice, it was crazy. Have I been put into play? Ok thank you.
It seems to me that I can control the puck more and create chances. Today was a great team victory, I tried to help, but I have to bring something to the game myself, I can do better.
Before the match with Kirill in the car we listened to songs, Caprice gave a little hint about what and how. He said, “Don’t shake too much, don’t worry. » I asked him a few questions about hockey. We talked for 15 minutes and I think that helped,” Khusnutdinov said in a video interview posted on the NHL website.
Khusnutdinov signed a two-year contract with Minnesota in late February; the club selected the player in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft, 37th overall.
