Koivu scored 709 points for the Wild in 1,028 games played. Wes Walz is tenth on the list with 67 even-strength goals.ĭepending on if Kaprizov spends most of his career in Minnesota, he has a good chance to take over Mikko Koivu’s all-time points record. He currently has 62 tallies with both teams at full strength Gaborik is at the top of that list with 154 goals 5v5. Kaprizov is on track to make the top ten in even-strength goals this year. Zach Parise currently holds the record with 69 nice goals. He could easily take the power-play goals record he’s already 7th on the Wild’s list with 31 tallies with the extra man. But Kaprizov has made easy work of breaking franchise records in a way no player has done before.īarring any injuries or missed time, Kaprizov should be able to break all the records that he hasn’t already. They also have never had an Alex Ovechkin-like goal scorer before. Granted, the Wild have only existed for 22 years and don’t have the most impressive all-time stats. Kaprizov already ranks 17th in points in Wild history, and he’s only going to continue to climb those ranks. But now, Kaprizov is breaking all of his records. Gaborik was Minnesota’s first bonafide star. He also ended up with 437 total points in a Wild sweater. He accomplished the feat in 502 games played for Minnesota. He could also take a crack at Mikko Koivu’s assist record (504).ĭespite leaving as a free agent after the 2008-09 season, Gaborik still has Minnesota’s goals record. It will take some time, but he’s on pace to break Gaborik’s all-time Minnesota goals record (219). Those numbers are staggering, and there’s no doubt he will break countless more records. And the fastest player in Minnesota Wild history to reach 200 points.The fifth-fastest left wing in NHL history to reach 200 points.23rd player to collect 200 points in 167 games or less in NHL history (T-22nd fastest).Over the weekend, Kaprizov set three more records: Kaprizov’s scoring pace is becoming ridiculous, and no one in Minnesota has seen a goal-scoring machine like him since Marian Gaborik left in 2009. Kaprizov, 25, has already rewritten the Wild’s record books, and he’s on pace to break nearly all of them if he continues to play the way he is now. However, while there are still plenty of records to break, none seem safe from Kaprizov. He’s already tackled the basics: Most points in a season, most goals and assists in one season, and most goals and points by a rookie. Kirill Kaprizov has only played 167 games in the NHL, but he has already broken numerous Minnesota Wild franchise records.
