Returns to usual roles Kaprizov (rest) was on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit for Thursday's practice, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kaprizov was given the Wild's last two games off in order to rest up for a postseason run. In his last seven outings, the Russian winger has found the back of the net seven times, including a pair of goals against the Stars on April 9. He'll need to continue to produce at that level in order to get Minnesota past Dallas in its first-round series.

The 28-year-old has put forth multi-point performances in three of six appearances this month, recording six goals, two assists, five hits and three blocked shots while averaging 20:22 of ice time across that span.

Posts hat trick, GWG Sunday Kaprizov tallied three goals, including the game-winning goal, and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Kaprizov played the hero in Sunday's contest with a pair of goals in the second period before tallying the game winner with less than two minutes remaining. With his first hat trick of the season, the 28-year-old winger is up to 43 goals, 87 points, 260 shots on net, 49 hits and 27 blocked shots across 75 games this season. His big night has him in a tie for third place with Edmonton's Connor McDavid on the NHL's goal leaderboard. While Kaprizov is unlikely to catch Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon or Montreal's Cole Caufield in pursuit of the Rocket Richard Trophy, he has a chance to tie or surpass his current career high of 47 goals, which he totaled across 81 regular-season games during the 2021-22 season.
