On the night of February 24, Moscow time, the regular season game of the National Hockey League (NHL) took place between the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild. The match ended with Wild’s 2-0 victory.
As part of the winners, the goals were scored by the American striker Brandon Duheim and the Russian striker Kirill Kaprizov.
In total, the Russian forward has appeared in 57 games for Minnesota this season, scoring 34 goals and 34 assists in those games. This season Kaprizov has surpassed 100 goals in the NHL. He attended the NHL All-Star Game in early February.
Kaprizov became a Minnesota player who moved to Minnesota from the capital’s CSKA in 2020. In the final draw of the NHL regular season, Kaprizov became the most successful Russian player.
Former Washington Capitals exchange Russian defender Dmitry Orlov with the Boston Bruins.
Washington previously reported that the 31-year-old Russian was not included in his application for a regular-season game with the Anaheim Ducks for possible hockey player trade-related reasons. American forward Garnet Hathaway was traded to Boston along with Orlov.
