We waited a long time for Kirill Kaprizov. A very long time.
Every game he proves that he was worth the wait.
In the last five games, Kaprizov has shown his affinity for theatrics;
- an overtime winner
- two third period goals, 2:10 apart to tie the game and then take the lead (lost in OT)
- a game-tying goal with 1:32 left (won 26 seconds later)
- another game-tying goal with 52 seconds left (lost in OT)
His teammates know how special he is and in the postgame interviews after Friday night's overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks, Joel Eriksson Ek spoke about the palpable feeling of it.
