“Safe and sound” – Forward Kirill Kaprizov leaves Russia and returns to Minnesota this week, fans sign in relief

Kirill Kaprizov expected to return to Minnesota Wild within this week

Finally, some peace returned to Minnesota Wild as their star winger Kirill Kaprizov left Russia successfully and is expected to return to his team by this week. An air of gloom surrounded the Wilds as they expected to turn to the 2022-23NHL  season without news about their left winger. 

Earlier this summer news came that Kaprixov couldn’t clear to New York twice from his home country in allegation of possessing a fake military ID back in 2017. However, Michael Russo of The Athletic reported that the Russian winger is back in the U.S and will return sometime this week.

The report stated, “Wild superstar Kirill Kaprizov is safe and sound in the United States, according to multiple NHL sources. He left Russia late last week by way of Turkey, arrived over the weekend in New York City, and is scheduled to fly to Minnesota on Tuesday.” According to Russo, the reason behind his clearance isn’t clear.

It could be that the 25-year-old player was granted entry due to possessing a U.S work permit or it could also be that his motherland managed to secure a military determent. Even though this is something the fans are curious about, as of now they don’t care as long as their favorite player can go back to his team. A sign of relief is both found within the team and the Minnesota fans.

Krill Kaprizov is finally back in Twin Cities, several weeks before Wild’s training camp begins. Their camp is scheduled to start on September 22. The Minnesota Wild got swept away in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs in 6 games by the St.Louis Blues in the first round. 

As stated on clutchpoints.com, with Kevin Fiala traded to Los Angeles Kings earlier this season, Kaprizov will have heavier baggage in the 2022-23 run. Earlier he led the team with 108 points with 47 goals and 61 assists.
