Jason Robertson Should Be A Calder Favorite

Minnesota Wild rookie Kirill Kaprizov burst onto the scene in the NHL like a firework. He scored a goal and tacked on two assists for three points in his debut. Through 44 games, he’s collected 37 points and scored 18 goals to lead all rookies in scoring. He leads his team in scoring. In a system that isn’t known for scoring, that’s an accomplishment.
