A flurry of words could be used to describe the Minnesota Wild's 5-4 shootout win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.
Sloppy? Ugly? Deficient in smart hockey plays?
Beautiful? Heroic? (Insert expletive) Awesome?
The game brought a flurry of emotions, and it started early as Kirill Kaprizov notched his second goal of the year midway through the first period. While it wasn't a highlight reel Kaprizov goal, it's one that gave Minnesota a head start.
The goal also put Kaprizov in the Wild record books, becoming the fastest player to 60 points in team history (65 games beats Gaborik at 93 games).
