Kaprizov was selected as the Calder Trophy winner as the NHL's best rookie.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov was a virtual lock for the award after a consistent and excellent first NHL campaign. He had three points in his debut, and he finished the year with 27 goals and 24 assists in 55 regular-season outings. The 24-year-old Russian winger will look to build on his impressive start next year once he signs a new contract -- he's set to be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three hits in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov tied the game at 2-2 with his second-period tally, but that was it for the Wild's offense in the elimination game. The 24-year-old winger struggled in the playoffs with only three points, 11 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating in the seven-game series. He'll head into 2021-22 as a top-six winger -- after a 51-point rookie campaign, fantasy managers will likely look to invest an early-round pick to roster Kaprizov.

EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov answered a Mark Stone goal with just 52 seconds between the two tallies. The Wild took over after Kaprizov's equalizer and held on for the rest of the game. The Russian winger has had a slow start to the postseason with two points, nine shots on goal and 11 hits through five contests.

Kaprizov recorded an assist, three hits, two PIM and a minus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov made a good pass to Ryan Hartman for the opening tally Thursday, but that was extent of the positivity for their line in the contest. The 24-year-old Kaprizov was often caught on the ice for the Golden Knights' goals in the final two periods. The Russian winger has posted six shots on net and nine hits in three playoff outings, but he hasn't been as effective on the scoresheet with just the lone assist and minus-3 rating.

Kaprizov (rest) won't play Thursday versus the Blues, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov has certainly earned a day off after piling up 27 goals and 51 points as a rookie this season. That's good enough to make him the Wild's leading scorer. The 24-year-old winger should be ready to go in a top-six role once the postseason gets underway.
