Minnesota forward Mats Zuccarello called teammate Kirill Kaprizov the best player in the National Hockey League.
On Tuesday, Minnesota defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins with a score of 4:3. Kaprizov, 27, scored one goal and provided two assists. The Russian has 18 points (5+13) in nine NHL regular season games
“I honestly don’t understand why this surprises you.” He has been doing this for five years and continues in the same spirit. I don’t think “Wow”. We’ve seen it every day for five years in a row and it’s still just as good. It’s a joy for me to play with him. I said it from day one: for me, he’s the best player in the league. He works, gives everything for the team, blocks shots,” Kaprizov quotes The Athletic.
Kaprizov shares the league lead in scoring with Vegas forward Mark Stone, who also has 18 (5+13) points.
