Minnesota coach Evason spoke about the absence of Kaprizov with the phrase “and who needs Kirill?”
Minnesota Wild head coach Dean Evason responded in one sentence to a question about injured team player Kirill Kaprizov. His words lead to Twitter journalist Joe Smith.
“Well, who needs Cyril?” – the expert said jokingly. In the absence of the Russian, the team scored two victories and suffered one defeat, scoring 17 goals.
Earlier, Minnesota forward Marcus Foligno said that the team misses Kaprizov. “We have to win and show that we can be a threat without our best player. And when he returns, it will be a good addition,” he said.
Kaprizov was injured on March 9 during a National Hockey League regular season game against the Winnipeg Jets (4:2). The Russian was diagnosed with a lower body injury. The forward will miss three to four weeks.
This season, Kaprizov played 65 games for Minnesota, in which he scored 39 goals and gave 35 assists. The 25-year-old Russian is the team’s top scorer in this championship.
