The warmer months will be spent with friends playing video games, hanging out on the water and occasionally fishing – something Kaprizov admitted he has never done in Minnesota.

Kaprizov said Sunday he feels good about the future in Minnesota: “Everyone wants to win. Me, too. I like everything here.”

Among the top priorities in the Minnesota Wild's offseason, is securing a contract extension for Kirill Kaprizov, the left wing who has one year left on his deal, and is the club's franchise forward and holder of 386 points in 319 regular-season games.
