Kaprizov's Hot Start Is Earned, Posts and All
The Wild star has rung iron again and again, and he still has more goals than his chances called for ahead of the Washington test.
By MA Insights
Kirill Kaprizov has scored 15 goals in 16 games, and it would be easy to call that a hot streak. The chances say otherwise. His shots have been worth about 13 goals in expected goals, meaning how many his chances should produce, so he is only slightly ahead of the pace. He has also hit the post 7 times, so the bounces haven't all gone his way. He is plus 10, and four of his goals came on the power play.
