The meeting ended with a score of 4:2. The victory was brought to the hosts by a brace from Russian striker Kirill Kaprizov. In addition to him, Alex Goligoski and Jonas Brodin scored for Minnesota. Matt Steenburg and Riley Tufte scored goals for the visitors.
On September 24, Kaprizov shared his expectations for the upcoming NHL season. He called the club’s goal for the 2023/2024 season to reach the playoffs. “I’m going to show up and do my best.
