Kirill Kaprizov seizes the torch as the NHL's best winger – Minnesota Wild
We wrote about Kirill Kaprizov's incredible start on Thursday. But when a player goes out and drops a three-point night to extend his multi-point game streak to seven… what else can you do but marvel at him all over again?
Kaprizov refuses to slow down, adding two goals and an assist in the Minnesota Wild's 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. The effort moved Kaprizov back to the NHL lead in points (21), extended his multi-point game streak to seven and gave Minnesota their sixth win in the past seven games.
We should add an addendum to Thursday's piece on Kaprizov's start: “Dolla Bill Kirill” is tied with Leon Draisaitl (2021-22) and Thomas Vanek (2013-14) for the fourth most points through 10 games in the Salary Cap era. Only Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have had more. Look further down the list and you'll see titans of the game like Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby watching Kaprizov.
That boggles the mind, and Kaprizov's hot start sounds unbelievable even to someone who has spent years watching Malkin and Crosby night in and night out.
“I think it just proves how good he is, how special he is,” Bill Guerin marveled Hockey wilderness after Kaprizov's three-point performance. “You don't just do that by accident. You see that good players make strong starts and things like that, but… 10 matches, that's a long segment. So make sure, not just consistency, but high level and such producing products is great.”
No one can ever accuse Kaprizov of flying under the radar. People have considered him one of the NHL's most dynamic wingers since he entered the league. Still, he seems to be getting a new level of attention around the league this season. from Sportnet Elliotte Friedman called him one Hart Trophy contender two weeks ago. The Athletics Dom Luszczyszyn and Sean Gentille recently made a trial bubble that Kaprizov may have surpassed last season's Hart runner-up, Nikita Kucherov, as the league's best winger.
And why not? It shouldn't be lost on anyone that Kaprizov's two-goal, one-assist game on Friday is identical to his Oct. 24 performance in Tampa Bay. In head-to-head matches, Kaprizov has a 6-2 points lead over his compatriot Kucherov.
If we want to continue comparing the two superstar Russians, we can point out that Kaprizov's seventh straight multi-point game matches Kucherov's career-high streak. The two are tied for the the fourth longest sequence of the Salary Cap era. Stamkos, McDavid and Vincent Lecavalier are the only players who can claim more playing time… and if Kaprizov extends his playing time to eight games on Sunday night, that list of players will be reduced to one.
Kaprizov's six power play points ranked him seventh in the NHL, and he was even better in 5-on-5 play. His 12 points at 5-on-5 are tops in the NHL (tied with Sam Reinhart), and it has gone a long way to his 14-4 advantage over his opponents when he is on the ice. Only Reinhart enjoys a higher 5-on-5 goal difference than Kaprizov's plus-10.
What else can you say at this point? Wild fans are watching the best player in franchise history at the height of his powers, and he's bringing attention to the rest of the hockey world. It was a joy to watch, and while ten games is a good chunk of the season, we still have plenty of time left for Kaprizov to amaze us even more.
