He finished the night with four points and a power-play goal as Minnesota took a 4-1 decision
Kirill Kaprizov led the way with a four-point night in Minnesota's 4-1 win, finishing with three goals and an assist in a full-strength, special-teams and empty-net spread of production. He logged 20:11 of ice time (ranked 6th among the team's skaters and 2nd among forwards) and had 19 shifts.
Kaprizov's scoring came across situations: an even-strength goal and assist (two points), a power-play goal (one point), and an empty-net goal (one point). He fired 4 shots on goal, registered 2 blocked shots, and was +2 on the night while giving up 2 giveaways and drawing no penalties.
Through five games this season he now has 6 goals and 2 assists for 8 points, with 13 shots and a 46.15% shooting percentage; his season on-ice numbers show strong chance-driving (on-ice expected goals 10.18 vs. 3.7 allowed). For this game, the box score simply shows a major offensive outing: a hat trick and an extra helper in 20 minutes of ice time.
