Athletistic/Hockey. Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin has admitted the club is concerned about Kirill Kaprizov’s return to the club. The striker was denied twice as he tried to cross the US border, but in August the Russian returned to the team’s scene nonetheless.

“Kaprizov’s return to the United States proved more difficult than expected. I know Kirill doesn’t really want to discuss it, but these are just problems. We received help from friends in Washington, to which we are grateful. Kaprizov did everything necessary, in a difficult moment for the weather. We are happy that he is here.

Has Kaprizov’s safety been called into question? At first we didn’t know if everything was fine, if he was safe, but everything is fine for him,” Guerin said.
