Matt Kiersted - First point with new club Kiersted logged a shorthanded assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Impact Kiersted first point with the Wild came on a Matt Boldy tally in the third period. The 27-year-old Kiersted is filling in as a depth defenseman while the Wild are missing a handful of regulars on the blue line. With no one expected to return Thursday versus the Blue Jackets, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News, Kiersted figures to remain in the lineup for at least one more contest. Over two appearances this season, he's racked up four shots on net and a blocked shot.

Matt Boldy - Keeps rolling with shorthanded goal Boldy scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Impact Boldy has scored in four of the last six games, and he has four goals and five helpers in that span. This was his second shorthanded tally of the season -- a larger penalty kill role has been a new responsibility for the winger this year. He's up to 19 goals, 38 points, 111 shots on net, 25 hits, 26 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-11 rating through 34 appearances.

Kirill Kaprizov - Sets franchise record Kaprizov scored a power-play goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Capitals.
Impact The goal was Kaprizov's 70th career power-play tally, setting a franchise record for the Wild by breaking a tie with Zach Parise. This was Kaprizov's first goal on the power play since Nov. 26. The 28-year-old superstar is up to 21 goals, 38 points, 113 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 34 contests this season. Kaprizov's quiet stretch in early December has taken him off a 100-point pace for the year, but he's still among the most productive forwards in the league.
