PAUL - Tonight marks the last game for the Minnesota Wild before the NHL All-Star break so entering the break on a high note would do wonders for a team who doesn't play until February 7th.
Kirill Kaprizov has been on fire recently making him tonight's player to watch. Before he got hurt in Winnipeg and missed seven games, Kaprizov was on a six-game point streak which saw him put up five goals and ten points.
Since coming back from his injury, Kaprizov has recorded five goals and ten points in seven games. In the Wild's last game, Kaprizov had two assists in a 3-2 loss to the Nashville Predators.
Kaprizov has fared well in his career against the Anaheim Ducks with four goals and 14 points in 14 career games and will be someone to look out for in tonight's game.
Yesterday Kaprizov admitted that this was a big game for the Wild before they enter the break but also a big game considering it's on Hockey Day Minnesota which is a holiday in Minnesota that many hockey fans celebrate.
"I feel like road was pretty good," Kirill Kaprizov said after yesterday's practice. "Won in Florida, Carolina and won against Washington. Big game tomorrow before break. Last game before break. Hockey Day Minnesota. Saturday night.”
