Minnesota Wild netminder Cam Talbot had to make sure his head wasn’t getting too big after he won his seventh consecutive game on Sunday. “I’m just a small piece of the puzzle, and I’m just going out there trying to give us a chance to win.” [StarTribune]
Speaking of Talbot, he was also named the NHL’s First Star of the Week. [Hockey Wilderness]
Kirill Kaprizov wants the world to know that this Wild team isn’t just him and a bunch of plugs; it is a full team effort to get each win and that they will stand up for each other because it’s expected.
