On Saturday, the Wild beat the Winnipeg Jets in an away match of the NHL regular season with a score of 4:3. The Russian forward scored a goal and gave two assists.
Kaprizov scored two points out of three in a 5-on-5 game. He now has 286 points earned at even strength, placing him in clear second place in club history, ahead of former Wild forward Marian Gaborik (284).
The leader on this list is ex-Minnesota captain Mikko Koivu (433 points).
