Kirill Kaprizov scores his NHL-leading 10th goal in the second period to break a tie, and the Minnesota Wild beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1. Jesper Wallstedt makes 13 saves for Minnesota, while Danila Yurov adds the other Wild goal. The win keeps Minnesota in strong form early in the season.
The outlets note Kaprizov’s scoring milestone as a key storyline. One report highlights that his 10 goals are reached faster than any player in the franchise’s history. Another details the context around his availability and Wallstedt’s start, after Kaprizov left a prior game following a collision with St. Louis goalie Joel Hofer. Despite that, he plays and produces the game-breaking goal against Columbus.
