It started to feel like superstar winger Kirill Kaprizov might never score again. He failed to bury multiple chances on Tuesday night at Grand Casino Arena while the Wild rolled to a 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. It was an uncharacteristic performance from the 28-year-old Russian. He hit the post so many times over the course of 60 minutes that he started to wonder to himself, “What’s going on?” Maybe former Wild winger Marian Gaborik made a deal with the hockey gods before the game with Kaprizov on the precipice of leapfrogging him to become the franchise’s all time leading goal scorer. Not even divine intervention could stop the most prolific goal scorer to ever wear the Wild sweater from rewriting the record books. As the slowly game wound to a close with the result well in hand, Kaprizov casually flicked a backhanded shot into an empty net. It officially marked the 220th goal of his career. No player has ever had more for the Wild. “It’s good,” Kaprizov said with a smile after the game. “You always want more.” As much as he’s tried to downplay the idea of passing Gaborik to become the franchise’s leading goal scorer, Kaprizov understands why the conversation itself has carried so much fan fare. Not that he’s feeling satisfied. He knows he has to keep putting the puck into the back of the net in order for the Wild to get to where they want to go. “Now it’s done,” Kaprizov said while shifting back to serious. “Just need to keep going.” Related Articles Wild beat Lightning to get back on track ahead of trade deadline Wild trade for 6-foot-6 forward Michael McCarron What are the Wild getting in new addition Robby Fabbri?
