Kirill Kaprizov doesn’t just score goals. He will fuck you up.
The 24-year-old rookie has already established himself as another top-level NHL talent that is more than worth the admission price. Catching eyeballs from all over the league, making every neutral fan tune in just to watch some late-game heroics or some dazzling playmaking.
But he’s more than that and it took just over 50 games to see it.
On Wednesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights, all hell broke loose and Kaprizov was at the center of it.
Vegag defender Nic Hague caught him with a vicious hit by the benches and the rookie took exception to that.
