    The NHL Network is putting together some lists of the top players in the NHL among different positions before the 2025-26 season starts. They just dropped the top-20 wingers in the NHL list.

    Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy was on the list and ranked 19th.

    Kirill Kaprizov ranked third on the list. Only Nikita Kucherov and David Pastrnak rank higher than Kaprizov. Pastrnak had 43 goals, 63 assists and 106 points in 82 games last year. Kucherov had 37 goals, 84 assists and 121 points in 78 games.

    Kaprizov, 28, recorded 25 goals, 31 assists and 56 points in 41 games for the Wild last year. He recorded five goals and nine points in six playoff games as well.

    Sine 2021, Kaprizov ranks fifth amongst NHL wingers in goals with 158. William Nylander has 159 in 327 games played, Mikko Rantanen has 165 goals in 319 games played, Alex Ovechkin has 167 goals in 294 games played and Pastrnak has 191 goals in 318. 

    Kapriov has 158 in just 264 games played in that span. If you scale it to goals per game (G/GP), Kaprizov and Pastrnak are tied at 0.60 for first in the NHL since 2021. 

    Since Kaprizov broke into the league during the 2020-21 season he has scored 0.58 goals per game. That puts him tied with Pastrnak for the most among wingers and the third most of any NHL player. Only Leon Draisaitl and Auston Matthews have a higher G/GP.

    Draisaitl has played 368 games, Matthews with 347 games played and Pastrnak with 366 games played.

    I don't think people truly realize how incredible Kaprizov's numbers have been. He continues to cement himself as the greatest Wild player ever and one of the best players in the whole NHL.
