Kirill Kaprizov Among Wild Players Being Rested Thursday Night
4 years agoMinnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov will be rested for the team's final regular-season game against the Blues on Thursday, with Kevin Fiala, Mats Zuccarello, Jared Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin joining him in the press box. Luke Johnson, Dakota Mermis, Kyle Rau, Brad Hunt and Zach Parise will enter the lineup. Kaprizov had an outstanding rookie campaign, leading the team in both goals (27) and points (51). He's already got bags of postseason experience from the KHL, so Kaprizov should have a successful debut in the Stanley Cup playoffs as well.
