The captain of the Chicago Blackhawks Nick Foligno hilariously taunted the Minnesota Wild superstar Kirill Kaprizov and was punished by the referees last night.
This was hilarious! The post Blackhawks’ Nick Foligno penalized for mocking Kirill Kaprizov appeared first on The Hockey Beast.
The Minnesota Wild placed their top-scoring contributor on LTIR on Friday in Kirill Kaprizov because of an aggravated lower-body injury. Minnesota has been one of the NHL's biggest surprises in 2024-24, sitting in second place of the Central Division with 58 points.
Wild star Kirill Kaprizov is back in action. After missing the past 12 games with a lower-body injury that popped up after the holiday break, Kaprizov was set to make his highly anticipated return on Thursday night against Utah at Xcel Energy Center.
Welcome to the Weekly Rewind, a column published every Monday that recaps the past week of Minnesota Wild hockey, including the team’s record, players with the highest stats, and more. This week, we’ll be looking at how the Wild did from January 20 to 26, 2025.
Despite Thursday’s tough outcome, Wild players were thrilled to have their captain and star forward back in the lineup.
The Minnesota Wild are trying to stay atop the West, a mission that will be easier if Kirill Kaprizov and Jared Spurgeon return Thursday.
Look, there's nothing that I'd rather do than do a freaking jig on the graves of the Colorado Avalanche. The Cha Cha Slide, a Moonwalk, and maybe even the Marcus Foligno-centric "Hot To Go" parody Nordy does on the Xcel Energy Center's Jumbotron.
The Chicago Blackhawks have an embarrassing history against the Minnesota Wild, but they nearly outdid themselves Sunday at the United Center.
Jared Spurgeon put the Wild up 1-0 at 5:43 of the first period, taking a pass in the slot from Boldy and putting the puck past the stick side of Mrazek. Frederick Gaudreau made it 2-0 at 7:17, when his shot from the bottom of the right face-off circle got past Mrazek on the short side.
Guerin didn't mince words in describing Minnesota's recent play during an intermission in Sunday's win over the Blackhawks.
