Russian attacker “Minnesota” Kirill Kaprizov missed the National Hockey League regular season game against Calgary due to injury. This was reported by the official website of the NHL.
Kaprizov has a lower body injury. On November 22, in a match against Edmonton (5:3), he collided with his knees with Oilers forward Jake Caggiula, but continued to play.
“I think it was an (illegal) knee strike,” Minnesota head coach John Hynes said in the postgame press conference. — Fortunately, Kirill continued the game and looked good. Such junctions obviously should not exist.”
According to Hines, Kaprizov escaped serious injury.
Kirill Kaprizov shares first place in the NHL in goals and assists with Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon. The Russian has 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) in 19 games. Kaprizov also ranks fourth in the league’s player utility rankings with a “+16” indicator.
