Kaprizov notched an assist and five shots on goal in Friday's 2-1 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov has four goals and two assists during his current four-game point streak. The 27-year-old winger set up the opening tally by Mats Zuccarello, but that was all the Wild could muster against Karel Vejmelka in this contest. Kaprizov is up to 22 goals, 27 helpers, 112 shots on net and a plus-23 rating over 32 appearances this season. After missing the 100-point mark in the last two years following his breakout in 2021-22, Kaprizov is poised to return to that level in 2024-25.

Kaprizov scored twice Saturday in a 4-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov opened the scoring when a shot came off the end boards straight to him below the right circle, and he one-timed the puck from a sharp angle off Samuel Ersson's helmet and into the net. Kaprizov's second was an empty-netter. He is having the season of his career, with 20 goals and 45 points through 29 appearances. At this rate, Kaprizov is trending toward a 56-goal, 126-point campaign. His 20.2 shooting percentage is a touch high, which could lead to his goal-scoring pace slowing, but he should be in the Hart Trophy conversation all year long.

Kaprizov scored a goal on five shots, dished two assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

The 27-year-old winger is up to 17 tallies, 25 assists, 10 power-play points, 82 shots on net and a plus-21 rating over 25 contests. His 42 points puts him atop the league leaderboard.

Kaprizov scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

The star winger scored the game-winning goal with only 25 seconds left in overtime, notching his 16th goal and 39th point of the campaign. He's also riding a four-point streak, marking the third time he's racked up points in at least four consecutive appearances in the current season.

Kaprizov notched a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov scored the goal that would force overtime midway through the second period, and he participated in the build-up that led to the game-winning strike, courtesy of captain Jared Spurgeon. Kaprizov has been one of the most productive forwards in the NHL this season and is delivering absolutely elite numbers across the board. Through 23 games, the 27-year-old Russian has 15 goals and 38 points. He seems on pace to record at least 40 goals for the fourth consecutive year, as well as eclipsing the 100-point plateau for the third time in that stretch.

Kaprizov scored the game-winning goal Wednesday in a 1-0 victory over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
The goal came early in the first frame when Kaprizov converted on a one-timer from low in the right circle off a sweet touch pass to finish off a 4-on-1 rush. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen didn't stand a chance. The goal is Kaprizov's first point since his injury scare last Thursday, and he's right back where he belongs -- on top of the NHL scoring list, tied with Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas with 35 points (14 goals, 21 assists). Kaprizov is delivering a Hart-worthy performance to the quarter pole of the season and carrying several fantasy teams.

Kaprizov (lower body) is good to play Monday against Winnipeg, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov briefly left Thursday's 5-3 win against Edmonton and missed Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary due to the injury. However, he underwent an MRI, and it was determined that his injury wasn't serious. So, after initially being a game-time decision versus the Jets, he's back in the lineup and is set to serve on the first line and top power-play unit. He has 13 goals and 34 points across 19 outings in 2024-25.

Kaprizov (lower body) will be a game-time decision Monday against Winnipeg, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprizov was on the top line during Minnesota's morning skate, indicating he could return to the lineup after missing Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary. He has compiled 13 goals, 34 points and 59 shots on net across 19 appearances this season. If Kaprizov misses his second straight game, Travis Boyd will suit up against the Jets.
