Minnesota Wild prospect Kirill Kaprizov still hasn’t played a game in the AHL or the NHL since he was selected 135th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, but he’s getting plenty of experience under his belt overseas in the KHL.

The 21-year-old is already in his 5th KHL season and second with CSKA Moscow and he had a career year during the regular season. In 57 games, the Russian forward led the entire league in goals with 30 to go along with 21 assists for 51 points, and he’s picking up where he left off in the playoffs. On Monday night, CSKA Moscow completed the first round sweep over HC Vityaz and Kaprizov picked up his first goal of the postseason in an impressive way.



Most players would think of circling around to get a better view of the net or sending the puck into traffic in front of the net in that situation, but the youngster made it look so easy by scoring the eventual game-winning goal with a between-the-legs beauty.

Kaprizov is well on his way to putting up career-high numbers across the board during the playoffs, as well, as he’s already registered a goal and 5 points through four games after scoring just two goals and totaling 10 points in 19 playoff games last season.
