Kirill Kaprizov, after a record extension, leads Wild in the season

He was on the right track to find out his best season a year ago and was the favorite of the NHL’s ultimate player until he had a stubborn injury and ends up missing half the season.

“We will see,” said the 40 -goal triple scorer. “I don’t know. I don’t like (say) something. Just see how it goes. I (I didn’t like) say something before.”

The Wild has still not managed to get out of the first round of the playoffs with Kaprizov in its alignment, but its last test was one of its best efforts.

They were on an offside to win the fifth game and take a 3-2 lead in the series of best seven home with a chance to eliminate Vegas-their faster and more aggressive style, and the pressure turned the best players from the Golden Knights; Jack Eichel and Mark Stone scored no points in the first three games.

“We have sometimes played rather well in the playoffs,” said Kaprizov. “But if you look at hockey, you say to yourself:” Ok, ok, everything is fine. But then matches 5, 6, and we lose at home. We have finished, once again. I don’t know. It’s hard.
