ST. PAUL - In a game where the Wild were down two forwards in their top-six, Kirill Kaprizov broke a Minnesota Wild franchise record.
Which was previously set by himself.
Kaprizov, 27, recorded a goal and an assist in the Wild's 3-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
He is up to ten goals and 20 assists in 16 games this season.
His 30 points in 16 games broke a franchise record as the fastest player to record 30 points to start the season.
He previously set this record in 2022-23 in 22 games.
According to NHL Stats, Kaprizov became the third player born outside North America in the past 15 years to reach the 30-point mark in 16 or fewer games, joining Leon Draisaitl (14 GP in 2021-22) and David Pastrnak (15 GP in 2019-20).
