Kaprizov Sparks Wild in Statement Win Over Avalanche

Kirill Kaprizov gives Minnesota exactly the kind of jolt that changes a game before the other bench can settle in. He drives the Wild offense with a goal and two assists, and suddenly the pressure shifts onto a Colorado team that came in expecting cleaner answers. For the Avalanche, this is the kind of loss that stings because the chances were there, but the response never fully arrived.
