The winger has an NHL-leading 42 points through 25 games after becoming the fastest in Wild history to get to 40, breaking his own record by six games. His seven three-point games are tied with New Jersey’s Jack Hughes for the most in the league, and Kaprizov’s 372 points (in 303 games) passed Ryan Suter for fifth place in Wild history. Captain Jared Spurgeon (394), Zach Parise (400) and Marian Gaborik (437) are all within reach if Kaprizov maintains his current scoring pace, a clip that would put him behind only Mikko Koivu (709).
Kaprizov has at least a point in his last 13 road games and has racked up eight points during the Wild’s win streak — which started vs. the Sabres on Nov.27 when the team began playing without Zuccarello, Brodin and Lauko.
