The NHL announced yesterday that Wild forward Kirill Kaprizov was named the first star of the week after recording five goals and eight points in four games. Since coming back from his injury, Kaprizov has been on fire which is exactly what the Wild have needed and it has translated in the win column as well. But even before his injury Kaprizov was on a roll. In his last ten games, Kaprizov has ten goals and 17 points. Last week alone Kaprizov had five goals and eight points which was tied for first in both of those categories. Auston Matthews had five goals and eight points as well. Kaprizov will look to keep it rolling tonight when the Wild face off against the Washington Capitals. RELATED
