The Wild prospect scored his first goal of the season in the Liiga.
Wild take the ice for training camp.
Most of the Wild's prospects have begun the 2024-25 season. Aron Kiviharju picked up his first goal of the year on Friday.
Kiviharju, 18, has now played in six games in the Liiga with HIFK. His goal vs Rauman Lukko was the youngster's first point of the season.
The Wild drafted Kiviharju in the fourth round of the 2024 NHL Draft. But even at pick 122nd, Kiviharju is excited to prove to the Wild he still can be the player he was before his torn knee cap injury. He was once a highly regarded defensive prospect.
Kiviharju will be an interesting player to keep an eye on as the year goes on.
